During the dissolution of the Yugoslavia, its constituent Socialist Republic of Macedonia organised independence referendum which resulted that Macedonia became an independent country. Poland established diplomatic relations with Macedonia in 1993 however until 1997 there was no Polish diplomatic mission in North Macedonia. In 1996 Poland opened its embassy in Skopje with Władysław Bilut as chargé d'affairs.
