(9 May 2016) Hundreds gathered in Belgrade on Monday to mark the 71th anniversary of Victory Day, which represents the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II.
People carrying pictures of their relatives killed during World War II gathered at a memorial honouring Soviet soldiers who died during the 1945 liberation of the Serbian capital from Nazi occupation.
Serbian officials and the Russian ambassador to Serbia also attended the gathering and laid wreaths at the memorial.
Participants walked to the memorial in a march organised by Russian groups in Serbia, in a sign of growing influence from Moscow in the Balkan country that is a historic Slavic ally.
