FROM ALEXANDRU G. FLORESCU TO GHEORGHE GRIGORCEA. THE CHIEFS OF DIPLOMATIC MISSION OF ROMANIA IN POLAND (1919−1939)

Summary/Abstract: The present study proposes an analysis of chiefs of diplomatic mission of Romania in Poland from 1919 to 1939, looking to see who were the ten diplomats sent to represent the Romanian state in Warsaw. We also try to notice if they have any personal or professional connections with Poland or Northern Europe, and if Poland was a professional attraction in the career of Romanian diplomats. We noticed that seven career diplomats and three chiefs of mission from outside the Romanian Ministry of Foreign were appointed heads of the diplomatic representation in Warsaw. For five of the Romanian diplomats Warsaw was their last mission abroad, although some continued their diplomatic career in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Bucharest authorities generally sent experienced diplomats to Poland because the Warsaw post was important for the Romanian diplomacy. Nonetheless, just one of the diplomatic mission chiefs in Warsaw worked in the Polish capital before being appointed as chief of legation.
