The history of the Balkan Slavs was closely connected with Byzantium, in contrast to that of the Lekhitic and Sorbian subgroups of the Western Slavs, which was connected with western European culture.
An effort on the part of the Slavs to counteract the influence of the Western Christian church (which was associated with the German empire) was the motive behind the introduction of the Old Church Slavonic language into the liturgy in Great Moravia, the first Slavic national state.

 voluntaryXchange: A Little Wend Trivia
More broadly the Kashubs are part of a Slavic group that lives further west than the Poles, but which speak a similar language from the Lekhitic sub-group of Slavic languages.

In this case, I was alerted by the fact that the new leader of Poland, Donald Tusk, is a Kashub.
