In terms of politics, the cooperation in the initial period was determined by the political agreement concluded in January 1949, while in terms of politics, the mutual relations were regulated by the COMECON concluded at that time. This organisation determined the economical contacts the economy within the member states and their foreign trade, in spite of gathering the socialist states it was in no way considered to be a monolith. Conflicts of interests arose among the industrialized countries (Czechoslovakia, Eastern Germany) and the agricultural ones (Poland, Romania, Bulgaria). The attempt at clarifying the situation and pushing the organization towards closer cooperation was found in the proposal submitted in 1962 by Władysław Gomułka, to strengthen the cooperation within the organization. It wasn’t enthusiastically accepted on the part of the Romanian decedents, who wanted to maintain their own economical priorities. Apart from the easing of the Polish point of view, which was also backed by the USSR, Romanians perceived the proposal as an endangerment towards their own interests, which, in turn, became the catalyst for establishing the so called national communism, developed after 1965 by Nicolae Ceauşescu.}, doi = {10.4467/2543733XSSB.17.007.7253}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/ssb/article/wspolpraca-polsko-rumunska-w-ramach-rwpg-do-roku-1962-do-xvi-sesji-rwpg} }
