Cooperation between Belgian and Polish towns
Welcome at the webpage for partnerships between Belgian and Polish cities, towns and villages.
The direct contacts, specific projects and personal visits between inhabitants of Belgium and Poland reinforce the grass-root ties between our both countries and develop the Europe of the citizen.
