Summary/Abstract: Diplomatic relations between The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Polish republic, new European countries after First World War, were established during 1919. In 1920 the first ambassadors were sent to Warsaw and Belgrade. Sense of “Slovene closeness” looked like sufficient reason diplomatic relations to be close, but in reality, relations between these two countries were friendly, but not so close. Important role in rapprochement of two countries represented Polish-Yugoslav league that existed in Warsaw and Belgrade. Most important things in Yugoslav-Polish relations between two world wars were a few important agreements, and ministry visits. In October 1922 in Warsaw was signed Trade agreement, in September 1926 in Geneva was signed Pact of Friendship and Friendly Cooperation, and in December 1931 in Polish capital city, during visit of Yugoslav Minister of Foreign Affairs Vojislav Marinković, was signed Convention on scientific, school and art cooperation. His visit to Poland was the first important state visitation after more than ten years of diplomatic relations. The second important state visit in that period was a return visit of Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Jozef Beck to Yugoslavia in May 1936. Interwar relations between Yugoslavia and Poland were ended after Germany and Soviet Union attacked this country and separated Polish territory.
