Round 10: Tossup 20

The slogan “he’s finished” was created by this modern-day country’s Otpor (10[1])youth movement, which led a campaign to overthrow its leader. 16 employees at this country’s Radio Television HQ were killed in a NATO operation that earlier accidentally bombed the Chinese Embassy. (10[3])This country’s “Bulldozer Revolution” overthrew a leader who was later put on trial for war crimes (10[1])committed with his ally Radovan Karadžić (10[1])(“KAH-rah-jeech”). In 2006, Montenegro seceded (10[1])from a union with this country. This country, which has refused to recognize the independence of Kosovo, was led in the 1990s by Slobodan Milošević (“mee-loh-SHAY-veech”). For 10 points, what country is ruled from Belgrade? ■END■
