Two HotNews journalists visited Poland to discuss what Romania can learn from Poland’s impressive evolution by speaking with professors, entrepreneurs, and experts. An entrepreneur named Pawel Wujec highlighted significant investment from Polish companies into Romanian businesses, citing a €20 million acquisition of the tourism agency Litoralul Românesc by the media giant Wirtualna Polska as an example. He expressed optimism that Romania has great economic potential to follow Poland’s path, noting its large population, strong university base, and skilled workforce, suggesting multinational corporations might move service centers from Poland to Romania for cost-effectiveness and talent pool access. Regarding infrastructure, he believes many historic buildings in Bucharest could be bought, renovated, and sold at high prices within ten years, predicting a fantastic future for the capital. Journalist Michal Kokot mentioned that Polish politicians have long emphasized cooperation with Romania in security matters due to shared concerns over Russia and the need for strong transatlantic ties. In Warsaw, while there is awareness of the war, many residents report adapting to the situation; some feel safer than in Romania due to better international relations, while others express anxiety about their families. Despite incidents like Russian drones entering Polish airspace, life has largely returned to normal in major cities like Warsaw, with citizens becoming accustomed to threats from Russia. A paramedic who visited Salina Turda shared a feeling of shared political and social challenges between the two countries, noting that many Poles appreciate Romania’s natural beauty as a tourism asset. Overall, both nations are experiencing their best economic and social periods despite various difficulties.
