Putin and Schroeder are due to sign an agreement on building a $5 billion gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea that would ship Russian gas to Germany for sale in Western Europe.
ITAR-TASS noted that Putin will also meet with Angela Merkel, Schroeder's challenger in Germany's upcoming federal elections later this month.
Putin is expected to arrive in Greece later today for a two-day working visit.
