    The right answer is number one. Sasa Borovnjak:



    A lot of people said number three, but it wasn't him. Although maybe he could pass there well:

    He's a Serb from Croatia, not a Croat.

    Sasa is an exclusively Serbian name isn't it? At least not commonly Croatian.

    Surname? Ok, that would be very difficult for me to know.

    Nah, there are no basques in Portugal.

    I can't recall any Croats with that first name, though I'm not going to claim for certain it's not present among them.

    I know of a Serbian basketball player with that surname who used to play for Partizan. Turns out it's this man's brother. They're Serbs from Dalmatia, like Pribislav (Varda).

    He is actually Serb from Bosnia, from Sanski Most. But nevermind, the point is clear.

    Google tricked me on this one. It says clearly on the right that he was born in Croatia. But on the first link it says he was born in Belgrade, Serbia. Other sources say Serbia as well.

    Surname Borovnjak exists only among Serbs from Gornji Milanovac (Serbia) and from Sanski Most (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina). There is also some Croats with that surname, from the northern parts of Croatia, but Sasa's father is from Sanski Most.
