Summary/Abstract: People’s Republic of Poland and communist Romania never had close diplomatic relations. Both domestic and foreign policy led by Warsaw and Bucharest had little common points; economical ties were also not very developed. As members of Warsaw Pact and COMECON both countries maintained relations of „friendship”; but nothing more. After introducing martial law in Poland in December 1981 Jaruzelski visited all countries of Soviet Bloc. Romania was the last one; but the visit inaugurated the short period of warmer relations. This however quickly faded away. The article is based on diplomatic documents from both countries.
