Just so you know, this is from the latest census. I've ignored the Bosniacs and colored in areas as being majority Serb or majority Croat. Essentially, if it were to be partitioned between Croatia and Serbia, it'd be partitioned along these lines.
Of course, you couldn't have Sarajevo go to Croatia while surrounded by a bunch of Serbian lands, so you'd probably hand all of that to one side or the other. The majorities in these areas are pretty thin, so it's a toss up as far as I'm concerned.

Undoing the austrian-hungarian empire and creating the balkans clusterfuck was a mistake.
None was good enough at Genocide and when someone actually turned out to be the Americans had to come in and FREEBOMB everything.

I was hoping for a somewhat more thorough response.
For instance, why is it that when Yugoslavia broke up, all of this majority Serbian territory adjacent to Serbia proper did not stay with Serbia? Or majority Croatian territory adjacent to Croatia not leave with Croatia proper? It doesn't seem to make much sense.

They were a kingdom, once upon a time, but the religious differences that grew during the Ottoman Period boiled over when they finally gained independence
All of the Balkans should just be nuked.

Different religions transformed into separate ethnic identities
Because Ottomans? Bosnians are pretty Bosnian man, just let it be and take advantage of the exchange rate.

Bosnia already existed since hundreds years ago even before Ottoman invasion. They are originally Serbo-Croat who follow the Bogomilist heresy. They suffered prosecution in both Orthodox Serbia and Catholic Croatia. So they decide to live somewhere around the hill and and build a settlement. When Ottoman annexed the Balkan region, they received a good treatment from Ottoman, something that they never received from both Serbia and Croatia. So in order to show gratitude toward their new Ottoman master, they converted to Islam.

There, no need to thank me.
