The overthrow of Slobodan Milošević (Former President of Serbia) from power in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia began after a general election on September 24, 2000. It reached its peak on October 5, 2000, leading to the downfall of Slobodan Milošević's government. People often call this important event the "5 October Revolution," or sometimes they call it the "Bulldozer Revolution." They call it that because of something memorable that happened during a day of protests. A person driving a heavy machine, like a bulldozer, charged at the Radio Television of Serbia building. This building was very significant because it was where the Milošević government spread its messages to the public. Slobodan Milošević: An Authoritarian and Corrupt Rule Slobodan Milošević's time in power was often described as authoritarian and corrupt. People accused his government of engaging in activities like rigging elections, carrying out political killings, restricting media freedom, and using excessive force by the police. He was also the first sitting leader to face charges for war crimes. The Yugoslav Wars, which he was involved in, led to international sanctions against Yugoslavia, causing significant harm to the country's economy and society. The situation worsened with NATO bombings, which caused extensive damage to infrastructure.
