Smena vlasti u Poljskoj, posle burnih političkih i socijalnih previranja krajem 1970. godine, s velikim interesovanjem i pažnjom je praćena u političkim krugovima u Beogradu. Tito i njegovi saradnici detaljno su razmatrali uzroke, pozadinu i epilog smene dotadašnjeg lidera PURP – Vladislava Gomulke i dolaska na vlast novog rukovodstva, predvođenog Edvardom Gjerekom. U centru pažnje zvaničnika iz Beograda bilo je pitanje: kako će ova zbivanja uticati na buduće jugoslovensko-poljske odnose i kako će ona uticati na odnose u međunarodnom radničkom pokretu i u samom istočnom bloku. Ovo pitanje, pak, otvaralo je čitav niz drugih pitanja i dilema. Jugoslovenske vlasti su u svojim procenama nove međunarodne strategije Gjereka i njegovih sledbenika posebno interesovanje ispoljavale u pogledu poljskog stava prema jugoslovenskoj politici nesvrstanosti, odnosu prema Zapadu i započetim pregovorima sa SR Nemačkom, planu u vezi sa stvaranjem bezatomskih zona u Evropi i inicijativi za održavanje konferencije o evropskoj bezbednosti i saradnji. Sudeći po bogatoj dokumentacionoj građi beogradskih arhiva, jugoslovenske vlasti su ispoljavale veliku dozu optimizma i pozitivnih očekivanja u pogledu Gjerekove politike prema Jugoslaviji. Takva jugoslovenska percepcija se zasnivala na izuzetno kooperativnim izjavama poljskih zvaničnika, na evidentnom intenziviranju diplomatskih kontakata, na srdačnoj prepisci između visokih jugoslovenskih i poljskih funkcionera i na zvučnoj najavi promptne razmene poseta lidera dve države.

Dragan Bogetić, VIEW FROM BELGRADE AT THE TURBULENT EVENTS IN WARSAW IN THE EARLY 1970s

The change of government in Poland, following turbulent political and social turmoil in late 1970, was followed with great interest and attention in political circles in Belgrade. Tito and his associates considered in detail the causes, background and epilogue of the shift of the previous leader of the PURP – Wladislaw Gomulka and the arrival of the new leadership, led by Edward Gjerek. In the center of attention of Belgrade officials was a question: how will these events affect future Yugoslav-Polish relations and how it will affect relations in the international workers’ movement and in the Eastern bloc. This question, however, has raised a number of other issues and dilemmas. In their assessments of the new international strategy of Gjerek and his followers, the Yugoslav authorities expressed a special interest in the Polish attitude towards the Yugoslav policy of non-alignment, the attitude towards the West, and the start of negotiations with the Federal Republic of Germany, the plan for the creation of the non-atomic zones in Europe and the initiative to hold a conference on European security and cooperation. Judging by the rich documentation in the Belgrade archives, the Yugoslav authorities have expressed a great deal of optimism and positive expectations regarding Gjerek’s policy towards Yugoslavia. Such a Yugoslav perception was based on the extremely cooperative statements of Polish officials, the apparent intensification of diplomatic contacts, the cordial correspondence between high-ranking Yugoslav and Polish officials and the sound announcement of the prompt exchange of visits by the leaders of the two countries.
