Vienna Document

The Vienna Document is an international agreement among participating countries, primarily in Europe, aimed at promoting transparency and confidence-building in military activities. It establishes procedures for mutual exchanges of information about military forces and exercises, allowing nations to verify that troop movements and exercises are within agreed limits. By fostering openness, the Vienna Document reduces the risk of misunderstandings or accidental conflicts, helping maintain stability and peace in the region. It is part of broader efforts to encourage cooperation and prevent escalation of military tensions among participating countries.
