Are Poles aware of Thracian aspect in original roots of Polish ethos?

Most Poles aren't into ethnicity, Crow.

Serbians no doubt grew tired of this but the Serbs have problems of their own now, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8671783.stm

pp. 93-95: From the second half of the fifteenth century, Ducas, in his History of the Byzantines, shows a warm emphathy for the Serbs:

In that same year Orkhan, the ruler of the Turks, died bequeathing his dominion to his son Murad who, having become the master of the Thracian cities, besieged Adrianople and took possession of all of Thessaly with the exception of Thessaloniki. Since he now held practically all the lands of the Romans, he advanced to the Triballi [Serbs].

The Triballi were an ancient Thracian tribe whose dominion was around the plains of south Serbia and west Bulgaria, at the Angrus and Brongus (the South and West Morava) and the Iskur River, roughly centered where Serbia and Bulgaria are joined.

This Thracian tribe has etymologically been connected with the Serbs, as many medieval Byzantine historians referred to the Serbs as the Triballians (Serbian name for Triballians is "Srblji, Thracians is rašani - the first Serbian state was Rascia, present-day Serbia). Trebinje, a present city of Herzegovina and historical Serbian principality (Travunija, Triballia) has also been connected with this tribe. The Triballi had received influences from Celts, Scythians and Illyrians.

Raci (Раци, Hungarian: Rác, (pl.) Rácok, German: Ratzen, Raize, (pl.) Raizen, Ratzians, Rasciani, Rascians) was a name used to designate Serbs, or sometimes, in a wider perspective, all South Slavs, in the Middle Ages and the early modern times. The name was primary used by Hungarians and Germans and it derived from the name of medieval Serbian principality – Raška (Rascia). The southern parts of the Pannonian Plain were also named Raška (Rascia in Latin, Ráczság or Ráczország in Hungarian and Ratzenland or Rezenland in German).

we inevitably coming to Balkan as Polish starting point.

I don't think that Poles came from Balkan.Actually I find it impossible.In my opinion they most probably came from the area which is now central Ukraine

The origins of the Thracians, and thus the Swedes, can be traced back to secular and biblical history. Chapters 9 and 10 of Genesis describe how the nations developed from Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Recorded history continually verifies the biblical account of the spread of nations.

After the Greek victory over the Persians (449 BC), the Persian king Xerxes (486-465 BC) established for himself a large army among whose soldiers Herodotus mentions Thracians from northwest Asia Minor, who are described as follows:

"The Thracians joined the expedition wearing fox caps, wearing long coats under their vivid colored capes. Their calf-high footwear was made of deerskin. They were equipped with spears, light shields and small daggers."

Josephus (1st century AD Jewish & Roman historian) identifies them as the tribes who were known to the Romans as Thirasians, and to the Greeks as Thracians, whom they feared as marauding pirates. Dio Cassius, Roman historian in the 2nd century AD, wrote "let us not forget that a Trajan was a true-born Thracian."

Tiras himself was worshipped by his descendants as Thuras (Thor), the god of war. The river Athyras was also named after him, and the ancient city of Troas (Troi, Troy - the Trajans or Trojans) perpetuates his name, as also does the Taunrus mountain range. Thracian lands stretched from southwestern Europe to Asia Minor, a vast area historically known as Thracia. The historical Thracian genealogical tree counts over 200 tribes which had several names, according to their specific regions. Some of their tribal names were Trajans, Etruscans, Dacians, Luwians, Ramantes, Pelasgians, Besins, Odrisi, Serdoi, Maidoi and Dentheletoi. The Trajans (Trojans) founded the city of Troy which existed approximately 2400 years (about 1900 BC to 500 AD), which was destroyed and rebuilt several times. Thousands of Trojan warriors left the city of Troy during the 11th century BC. They came north and captured land along the banks of the river Don (southwestern Russia), a major trade route. The locals named the Trojan conquerors the "Aes," meaning "Iron People," for their superior weaponry. The tribes of Trojan Aes would eventually move north, settling in present-day Scandinavia. The Aes or Aesar (plural), subsequently became known as the Svear, and then Swedes.

and mixed with germanic tribes which were living easter of Oder.

Anatolia had been - for several centuries - subject to a Balkan tribal federation - the Phrygians, whose king Midas became legendary for the opulence of Gordion, the capital." One should not forget that only a few km east of Anatolia, another empire - the Urartu Kingdom - flourished, only to disappear into the black hole of history.

Between the Greek colonies on the shores of the Thracian Sea and the Phrygians, another Thracian kingdom was soon founded - the Lydians'. In roughly the 6th century BC, Anatolia was once more invaded, this time by the Cimmerians (themselves of Thracian origin). The ensuing fratricidal war caused serious losses to both the Phrygians and the Lydians. The Cimmerian people extended its sovereignty over the center of Anatolia and as far as the Thracian Sea and over several of the Greek colonies too.

In The Aryans (pg.176-177), V.Gordon Childe was indicating the map of the Carpatho-Danubian spreading, as far as the center of Anatolia and from there across Mesopotamia to Persia. Iosif Constantin Dragan, in We, the Thracians (pg.158), made use of the same arguments (although his book was published 16 years before V.Gordon Childe's above-mentioned work), speaking about the Hittite tribes as the first among the Carpatho-Danubian ones to "leave the sacred space" and followed shortly by the Luwians. Apart from the Dardan (Trojan)-Ramantes who settled down on the Anatolian coasts along the Thracian Sea shore, the Carpatho-Danubian Hittite people headed for the heart of Mesopotamia, and founded an empire, whose boundaries were marked by the Getic Sea (the Black sea) and Palestine. The founder of this empire was Labarnas and was followed by his son, Hatusilas, who extended his empire and pushed its frontier even farther, after braving the native Hatti people.

The Carpatho-Danubian Hittite civilization developed simultaneously with the Simerian and Egyptian ones.

The migration of the Carpatho-Danubian Thracians to Anatolia, as far as Asia Minor, took place during the early years of the Bronze Age. This could explain why the bronze hatchets found in this area are very much alike, or why the pottery made along the Danube shares certain characteristics with that from Anatolia. The Thracian craftsmen left their mark upon these hatchets too (also known as "Thracian hatchets").

Did you hear the latest, Crow? The Albanians said to the Macedonians that they were their long lost Ilyrian brothers. The Macedonians had big problems with them.

I'd doubt it!

Serbian intelligentsia

Not Kiev or Moscow? Are they aware of their roots?

Do Serbs have intelligentsia? I sincerely doubt it.

The name of Kraków is traditionally derived from Krakus (Krak, Grakch), the legendary founder of Kraków and a ruler of the tribe of Lechitians (Poles). In Polish, Kraków is an archaic possessive form of Krak and essentially means "Krak's (town)". Krakus's name may derive from "krakula", a Proto-Slavic word meaning a judge's staff, or a Proto-Slavic word "krak" meaning an oak, once a sacred tree most often associated with the concept of genealogy. The first mention of Prince Krakus (then written as Grakch) dates back to 1190, although the town existed as early as the 7th century, inhabited by the tribe of Wiślanie.

The city's full official name, used on ceremonial occasions, is Królewskie Stołeczne Miasto Kraków, meaning "Royal Capital City of Kraków". In English, a person born, or living, in Kraków is a Cracovian (Polish: Krakowianin).
