Srđan Mićić, JUGOSLOVENSKO POSLANSTVO U VARŠAVI IZMEĐU DVA SVETSKA RATA

DOI: 10.29362/2350.mic.97-112

Uspostavljanje jugoslovensko-poljskih diplomatskih odnosa i otvaranje diplomatskih predstavništava u dve prestonice ukazali su da Poslanstvo u Varšavi nije imalo prvorazrednu ulogu u jugoslovenskoj diplomatskoj službi. Glavni razlog bio je vrlo ograničena sfera bilateralne saradnje, te je personal bio malobrojan. Poslanstvo tri godine nije imalo šefa. Za poslanike su uglavnom birane diplomate koje su bile u lošem položaju zbog stranačke pripadnosti ili gubitka pozicija njihovih zaštitnika. Dvojica od trojice bivših pomoćnika ministara je odbilo da prihvate premeštaj u Varšavu. Dvojica poslanika uklonjena su zbog incidenata u kojima su učestvovali. Poslanstvo je imalo savetnike tokom dvanaest godina. Samo su jedan poslanik i savetnik vladali poljskim jezikom, te je komunikacija sa državnim institucijama prebacivana na niže činovnike. Poslanstvo je u personalnom pogledu imalo najjači sastav u periodu 1929–1931, kada su uspostavljeni bliski odnosi dvojice ministara inostranih poslova Vojislava Marinkovića i Augusta Zaleskog i pripreman teren za eventualno formiranje bloka država od Baltičkog do Egejskog mora.

Srđan Mićić, YUGOSLAV LEGATION IN WARSAW IN INTERWAR PERIOD

The establishment of Yugoslav-Polish diplomatic relations and the opening of diplomatic missions in two capitals have indicated that the Legation in Warsaw had no first-class role in the Yugoslav diplomatic service. The main reason was very limited sphere of bilateral cooperation; therefore, the staff was usually few in numbers. There was no head of the mission for three years. Plenipotentiary ministers were generally chosen among diplomats who were at the time in a bad position either for their party affiliation or loss of positions of their protectors. Two out of the three former deputy Foreign Ministers refused to accept transfer to Warsaw. Two plenipotentiary ministers were removed for the incidents they were participated in. The Legation had counselors for twelve years. Only one head of mission and one counselor knew Polish language, so communication with Polish state institutions was transferred to lower ranking clerks. The Legation had the strongest personnel from 1929 until 1931, during the period of the close relations between two foreign ministers Vojislav Marinković and August Zaleski, and in time of consultations for eventual formation of the alliance of states from the Baltic to the Aegean Sea.
