Damir Škaro is a former Croatian amateur boxer, who won the Light Heavyweight Bronze medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympic games with Yugoslavia.
After it became known to him that the Olympic Committee of Serbia was claiming his medal as its own, he had this to say, "My medals, along with all other medals of Croatian athletes, are as much theirs as is Kosovo. They were the most numerous, privileged people in that artificial creation [Yugoslavia] so now they think that everything in history belongs to them."[1]
