Polská medievistika na české (moravské a slezské) půdě uplynulého desetiletí

The bilateral workshops between Polish and Czech historians give a good picture of cooperation between the scholars working on medieval history. Various reviews published in scientific journals do not epitomize it well enough. Due to the dense social network and numerous possibilities for personal, face-to-face meetings vivid debates are mostly held during diverse conferences and behind the scenes. Shared topics are defined by: geographical space (e.g. Silesia and Kłodzko region), political relations between both states and fields of research (e.g. rites, power, church, court life). Nowadays contacts between scholars and research teams find their common ground in various projects. The most important one is biannual meeting on subsidiary lands of the Crown of Bohemia (Vedlejší země Koruny české), social and cultural similarities in development of Central European space or comparison of Central European monarchies. Local Czech universities co-operate with Polish higher education institutions. Structurally constructed statements on ancient history of Czech resp. Polish state cannot be put in the framework of modern state and Central Europe seems to be the region with many shared developmental elements.
