The 12th International Agricultural Congress in Warsaw in the same time was a breakthrough in bilateral relations in the branch of the agricultural sciences. In 1929, the Krakow sessions of representatives of Czechoslovak and Polish agricultural organizations fixed the first common scientific program of mutual cooperation in the field of agricultural sciences at the level of agricultural research institutes in Poland and Czechoslovakia.
