At least in Polish (where I've also heard it) it makes more sense orthographically!

The balls and strikes metaphor is also good, though not in the way Roberts intended: although they're supposed to be fair, umpires give harsher strike zones to lefties.

Yes, but as far as I understand it, it took a real period of sustained protests there before it went fully nationwide (that is, centered in Belgrade as you say).

The Serbian protests started in Novi Sad.

Also, I don't have too much experience with Czech dubbing in general but I do really appreciate that they localized some of the references in Simpsons episode titles (The Regina Monologues -> Obtěžoval jsem anglickou královnu, Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em -> Kladivo na Homera)

Forgive me, it was my Czech friend years ago who was being unfair, I should have double-checked. 🙂

Not always true, the Czech translation of HP is generally praised for creative name translations (especially in comparison to the Slovak one, which left the English names alone).

Well, also, people watch the Olympics for feats of athleticism, not charisma. A strategy explicitly rejecting athleticism undermines the enterprise.
