Summary/Abstract: Interethnic communication is an essential objective of the contemporary world and cultural dialogue is its main component. Ignoring and not respecting the cultural codes, neglecting religious beliefs are some conditions that affect interethnic relations. These situations were valid for the Romanian society in the 17th century. Our study aims at highlighting these situations based on the notes of foreign travellers.Many of them have generated animosity between states, and others have influenced perception and judging Others. They were very close to becoming the cause conflicts, isolation and tension between states. Our observations demonstrate that these situations do not differ radically from current realities.
