Marshal Piłsudski in Romania in 1928

Summary/Abstract: This article describes the second visit that Marshal Piłsudski made in Romania. At the same time, it was the longest one, since it took place between 19th of August to 3rd of October 1928. According to the article, the visit was supposed to start much earlier, as a holiday, but plans changed, and also the duration of the rest of the visit in Romania was changed – Piłsudski prolonged it by a week. During this time he stayed at the residence of his old friend – Dr. Lucjan Skupievski in Târgovişte, and after that, on the 29th of September Piłsudski left Târgovişte and went to the Polish embassy in Bucharest, starting the official part of his visit. According to the author he spent his time in Romania very actively. He met with the members of the Romanian Royal Family, the most important politicians (Vintili Brătianu, Ion Duca, Constantin Argetoianu, Ion Tresnea-Grecianu etc.) and military men. The author admits that Piłsudski's trip to Romania did not produce spectacular results. However, the observations made and the talks conducted led the Marshal to conclude that the course should be continued in the direction of deepening the cooperation between Poland and Romania.
