In January 1991, an impasse in Polish-Soviet negotiations regarding the evacuation of the Soviet army from Poland and their transit from Germany through Polish territory occurred. Therefore, on 25 January 1991, the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Senate met to hear the government’s relation and decide on the role of the Senate in this crisis. The meeting was an opportunity for government members and senators to discuss the tactics of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the negotiations with the Soviet Union and evaluate it. The discussion revealed a critical assessment of the negotiations, including the fixed date of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Poland and making the consent to transit the troops from Germany subject to their prior evacuation from Poland. During the meeting, the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Senate decided to organise an information campaign regarding the Polish position, particularly in Germany. In the following months of 1991, Poland gradually mitigated its position in its negotiations with the USSR, increasing its flexibility in the matter of both evacuation and transit.

The paper concerns the position of Polish MPs and senators on shaping the principles of German-Polish cooperation in a situation in which Poland regains full sovereignty in foreign policy. The position of Polish deputies was analysed on the basis of stenographic reports from plenary sessions of the Sejm and Senate concerning the preparation and ratification of treaties with Germany on confirming the border and on good neighbourhood. In particular, it was a question of examining whether MPs and senators supported the concept of a German-Polish community of interest, which was defined and presented in the Sejm by Foreign Minister Krzysztof Skubiszewski. During the ratification debate, supporters of both treaties pointed out that they enabled Poland to leave the Eastern Bloc, making Poland independent of the support of the USSR for the western border. They also provided an opportunity for German support on Poland’s way to the European Communities. MPs and senators understood that it was possible to build a German-Polish community of interest on the basis of supporting and expanding the integration process and thus completely change Poland’s geopolitical situation. This did not mean that the solutions adopted in the treaty on good neighbourhood, especially with regard to compensation, the status of Poles in Germany and the German minority in Poland, were fully accepted.
