Štrajkovi i demonstracije radnika u Poljskoj, tzv. Decembarski događaji iz 1970, doveli su do iznenadne smene dugogodišnjeg poljskog lidera Vladislava Gomulke. Jugoslovensko rukovodstvo je u navedenom videlo šansu za poboljšanje odnosa Beograda i Varšave, koji su bili narušeni od 1968. Podrška koju je predsednik SFR Jugoslavije i Saveza komunista Jugoslavije (SKJ) Josip Broz Tito pružio novom poljskom rukovodstvu na čelu sa Edvardom Gjerekom dočekano je sa simpatijama i zahvalnošću od poljske strane. Tako je tokom 1971. usledio niz uzvratnih poseta između partijskih i državnih predstavnika Jugoslavije i Poljske tokom kojih su produbljene međusobne veze i stvoreni uslovi da se jugoslovensko-poljska saradnja poboljša. S obzirom da je novom poljskom rukovodstvu bilo potrebno vremena da umiri situaciju u svojoj zemlji i da se učvrsti na vlasti, jugoslovenska strana je pokazala maksimalno strpljenje i uzdržanost zadovoljavajući se politikom malih, ali konstantnih koraka uz insistiranje na uzajamnom poštovanju različitosti, toleranciji i uvažavanju jugoslovenskog samostalnog puta u izgradnji socijalizma, posebno vanblokovske opredeljenosti Beograda. Ključni događaj u opisanom procesu bio je Šesti kongres PURP, koji je održan u Varšavi od 6. do 11. decembra 1971, jer je na njemu vlast potpuno preuzela politička grupacija na čelu sa E. Gjerekom koji je izabran za Prvog sekretara CK PURP. SKJ je na ovom Kongresu predstavljala tročlana delegacija na čelu sa članom Izvršnog biroa Predsedništva SKJ Krstom Crvenkovskim, koja je bila zadovoljna korektnim prijemom, Gjerekovom ocenom da se odnosi Poljske i Jugoslavije prijateljski i uspešno odvijaju i što su izostale tzv. kritike revizionizma za koji je SKJ ranijih godina optuživan. U narednim mesecima je jugoslovensko-poljska partijska i državna saradnja plodno nastavljena i krunisana posetom predsednika SFRJ i SKJ J. Broza Tita Varšavi od 19. do 23. jula 1972, što je predstavljalo otvaranje nove etape u jugoslovensko-poljskim odnosima.
Miomir Gatalović, THE YUGOSLAV PERCEPTION OF THE SIXTH CONGRESS OF THE POLISH UNITED WORKERS’ PARTY IN 1971
Strikes and demonstrations of workers in the PR of Poland, the so-called December Events of 1970, led to the sudden removal of longtime Polish leader Wladislaw Gomulka. The support provided by the President of SFR of Yugoslavia and the League of Communist of Yugoslavia (LCY) Josip Broz Tito to the new Polish leadership led by Edward Gierek, was greeted with sympathy and gratitude from the Polish side. Thus, there was a series of return visits between party and state officials of Yugoslavia and Poland in 1971, during which mutual relations were deepened and conditions were created for Yugoslav-Polish cooperation to be improved. Because the new Polish leadership needed time to calm the political situation in their country and to consolidate on power, the Yugoslav side showed maximum patience and restraint by satisfying itself with the policy of the small, but constant steps and insisting on mutual appreciation of diversity, tolerance and respect for the Yugoslav independent path in building socialism, especially the non-aligned orientation of Belgrade. The key event in the described process was the VI Congress of the PUWP, held from 6th to 11th of December 1971 in Warsaw, where political group led by E. Gierek completely took power and he was elected First Secretary of the CC of the PUWP. The LCY was represented at this Congress by a three-member delegation led by Krsto Crvenkovski, a member of the Executive Bureau of the Presidency of the LCY, which was satisfied with the correct reception, Gierek’s assessment that the relations between Poland and Yugoslavia are friendly and successful, and that was absent so-called criticism of the revisionism for which the LCY had been accused in earlier years. In the following months, Yugoslav-Polish party and state cooperation continued fruitfully and crowned with the visit of the President of the SFRY and LCY J. Broz Tito from 19th to 23d of July 1972 to Warsaw, which represented the opening of the new stage in Yugoslav-Polish relations.
