Svetlana Kuznetsova had given Russia a 1-0 advantage with a 6-1, 6-4 rout of Ana Ivanovic, but Jankovic bounced back after losing the first set against Kleybanova.
Sunday's doubles match pits the duo of Ivanovic-Jankovic against Vera Dushevina-Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, and if needed, Jankovic battles Kuznetsova, while Ivanovic battles Kleybanova.
The winner plays either France of the United States in the semifinals.
Russia has won the event four times since 2004, and is 2-0 all-time against the Serbs in Fed Cup play.
