Slobodan Milošević was president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1997 to 2000 who, despite being indicted for several war crimes (including genocide and crimes against humanity), losing wars to separatists and losing the 2000 presidential election, did not step down until several hundred thousand protesters arrived in the capital and caused significant property damage, largely unhindered by police.
