Miroslav Škoro is a Croatian politician, musician, TV host and former diplomat. He is the founder and the first president of the conservative Homeland Movement party, which he established in February 2020 and led until July 2021. As a musician, Škoro is best known for using the traditional Slavonian tamburica instrument in most of his compositions.
In the 2007 parliamentary election he was elected member of the Croatian Parliament for the Croatian Democratic Union party and held the office from January 2008 until his resignation in November of the same year. On 23 June 2019, he announced that he would contest the December presidential election as an independent candidate. He ended up finishing in third place with 24.45% of the vote - behind former prime minister Zoran Milanović and incumbent president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, and thus did not advance to the run-off in January 2020. On 29 February 2020, he announced that he would be forming, as well as personally chairing, a new political party called the Miroslav Škoro Homeland Movement, which contested the July 2020 parliamentary election as part of a wider coalition of conservative and right-wing parties.
