The Belgrade Military Parade, known as Korak pobednika ("Step/March of the Victor"), was a
military parade on Nikola Tesla Boulevard on 16 October 2014, during the 70th anniversary of the liberation of
Belgrade. The city was liberated from the hands of the Nazis by the
Yugoslav Partisans with the help of the
Red Army during the
Belgrade Offensive on 20 October 1944. It was the first military parade in the country for 30 years, and included 4,500
Serbian troops, as well as a minor number of Russian troops and the Russian aerobatic team,
Swifts. President
Tomislav Nikolić and Prime Minister
Aleksandar Vučić attended the parade, with Russian President
Vladimir Putin attending as the guest of honour.[1] Participants in the parade were given awards for their participation, in December at
Topčider.[2]
