Summary/Abstract: Poland’s accession to Euro-Atlantic structures and the European Union was a breakthrough in the transformation from communism towards parliamentary democrcy. However, the Polish public opinion was divided in their views of these accessions. The article, based on public opinion surveys from the period of 1989-2004, presents the attitude of Polish people towards NATO and EU accession. While NATO accession was enthusiastically supported, integration with European Union countries was met simultaneously with hope and skepticism.
