The Akkerman Convention was a treaty signed on October 7, 1826, between the Russian and Ottoman Empires at the Budjak citadel of Akkerman, now Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in Ukraine. It required the Ottoman Empire to withdraw its forces from the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia and to let the Divan of each principality elect its own hospodar for a seven-year term with the approval of both powers, while also restoring autonomy and lost lands to the Principality of Serbia. The convention proved short lived: the repudiation of its terms by Sultan Mahmud II helped trigger the Russo-Turkish War of 1828 to 1829.
