Video ID: 20141016-039
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a speech to thousands in Belgrade, Thursday to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the city from Nazi German forces.

The Russian leader addressed the crowd as rain poured down on the Serbian capital. Senior Serbian officials could be seen putting plastic ponchos on during the down pour. Putin was later presented with the Order of the Republic of Serbia by Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic. Putin went on to sign seven bilateral trade agreements as well as discuss the issue of the South Stream pipeline, intended to bring Russian gas through southern Europe.

Belgrade was liberated by the National Liberation Army of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Red Army on October 20, 1944. The anniversary was moved forward by four days.
