Agreement between Germany, Denmark, Russia, and Sweden, for the Status Quo in the Baltic, (St. Petersburg) April 23, 1908
In French (Nouveau Recueil, III Serie, i. 18)

His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, King of Prussia, His Majesty the King of Denmark, His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and His Majesty the King of Sweden, being animated by the desire to consolidate (p.52) the bonds of neighbourliness and friendship which exist between their respective states and to contribute thereby to the maintenance of a general peace, and recognizing that their policy in relation to those regions which border on the Baltic Sea has for its object the maintenance of the actual status quo, their Governments declare that they are firmly resolved yo maintain intact the rights of the Emperor of Germany, King of Prussia, and of the King of Sweden in all that concerns their continental or insular possessions in the aforesaid regions. In the case of the actual territorial status quo in the regions which border on the Baltic Sea being menaced by any events whatsoever, the four Powers signing the present DSeclaration would enter into communication with one another in order to come to an understanding as to the measures they should conceive it useful to take in the interest of the maintenance of the status quo.
