The Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding

The Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding (Polish Centrum Polsko-Rosyjskiego Dialogu i Porozumienia) initiates and supports projects improving dialogue and understanding between Poland and Russian Federation. The Centre is a state legal person supervised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage since April 19, 2011 according to the March 2011 law. [1]

Creation of parallel Polish and Russian dialogue centres was decided during President Medvedev's visit to Poland in December 2010. [2] Russia created the Centre for Russian-Polish Dialogue and Reconciliation in Moscow, which however does not cooperate with the Polish one and its director Juri Bondarenko presents controversial opinions about Russian-Polish relations.[3][4]
