Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the process of political rapprochement between the People's Republic of Poland and Yugoslavia after political changes in the Soviet bloc in 1956. Gomulka’s return to power resulted in high hopes in Belgrade. The Yugoslavs appreciated his political views similar to their ideas of “the construction of socialism” taking into account local conditions. It soon turned out, however, that his independent position had limits.
