Summary/Abstract: Within the Warsaw Treaty, beyond the monolith unity shaped by the absolutism of the Soviet power, the relations among the participating states at this military bloc were not at the discretion of the USSR. All along its existence, the Romanian diplomacy blocked the attempt of transforming the military bloc into a supra-national organization. The expansion of the Warsaw Treaty in the Asian area, as well as the bringing forth of the political-military issues outside the European area to the attention of the Warsaw Treaty were stopped by Romania. The Romanian diplomacy has promoted the maintaining the political decision at a national level and not the idea of delegating it to the military blocs and also to an exceptional attention to the procedural regulations of international negotiation formats. This essay was made mainly on the documents from the Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central National Historical Archives regarding Romania’s participation in the Warsaw Treaty
