​LUKOIL Srbija provided financial support for the reconstruction of the monument to Soviet war veterans in Avala. The works included the cleaning and restoration of the memorial plaque, the complete restoration of the sculpture, pedestal, and information board, as well as landscaping and other repairs to the monument.

The monument symbolically depicts a broken airplane wing to mark the 60th anniversary of the tragical death of the 18-member Soviet military delegation in a plane crash on the slopes of Avala. The plane crashed on October 19, 1964, on their way to the 20th anniversary celebration from the liberation of Belgrade. A monument was erected at the site of the accident in 1965.

On The Day of Liberation of Belgrade, wreaths were laid by representatives of the Serbian Government, the Serbian Army, the diplomatic corps, as well as representatives of LUKOIL Srbija and veterans' associations.
