Concerts, exhibitions, films, literature and music from the Danube filled the Polish cultural space for a year.

One could see less known, often niche, original forms, but also exhibitions devoted to well-known and important events from the point of view of common Polish-Hungarian history, such as 1956 or the Holocaust.

The Year of Hungarian Culture is coming to an end. Events at the highest level, a large dose of talent and Hungarian temperament or folklore can only confirm the belief that Hungary is a country worth drawing from in various fields.

At the farewell concert at the Warsaw University of Technology there were, among others, Speaker of the Sejm Marek Kuchcinski, a great advocate of Polish-Hungarian friendship, Deputy Speaker of the Sejm, MPs, ministers, and the Ambassador of Hungary.

During his speech, Deputy Speaker of the Sejm Ryszard Terlecki emphasized that thanks to Speaker Marek Kuchciński and President László Kövér there were many meetings and joint celebrations. Our friendship is much longer than this year, and the ceremony doesn't end anything - he said.

Ryszard Terlecki also spoke about the plans to establish the Wacław Felczak Foundation that would take care of the cooperation between young Poles and Hungarians. The patron is our common hero. The legendary professor from Krakow was a soldier, a courier of the Polish underground, a communist prisoner, one of the co-creators of the anti-communist opposition in Hungary in the 1980s, when he advised the then young Orban to establish his own party.
