((As has oft been pointed out, the Poles are in Upper Silesia, which just happens to be the Southerly portion, but no matter.))
((I had just figured that out too, but I still managed to screw it up. :glare:
Fixed now though.))

Croatia has been hearing reports of the persecution of Croatians for some time now, and is very concerned about their welfare, and feels Bosnia is a hostile threat to its population, both within its borders and Croatia's itself. Therefore, the Croatian state militia and other associated forces will occupy the Croatian-occupied areas to stabilize them and bring the population under our protection. Do not fear, this is not an invasion, we will not kill or harm any non-hostile citizens and promise to respect all their rights, whether civilian or military.
We call the Albanians to stand with te Imperial Armies in a effort to defend the rights of the Albania people against the aggressive actions of the Croats, who have violated their neutrality.

Whether your promises are true or not, we are in a war, and sooner or later we may have to engage in battle. Many Bosnians under your spell may start seeing Croatians as the enemy, and I do not wish to see more ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. This Federation is descending into civil war and I will not let the Croatians be massacred on my watch.How dare you speak such lies. Only to destroy, our State! The Croatians, have been properly represented in this State, by honest Croatian representatives. If one Croatian militia member steps into our borders, they will be killed. Croats are fine in Bosnia, they are an accepted and well treated people in our province.
We hereby ask Albania to help protect us, and the rebel armies. Muslims, Croatians and Serbians! Join us in protecting our nation, from the imperialist Croatians from Zagreb, who want to force us against our will into a fractured Federation!
~ Konstantin Vranjković, Grand Duke of Bosnia and Herzegovina

I told you so.

Oh great, now on top of them calling ME an Imperialist after they try to restore a monarchy, we have ghosts in the Hofsburg?The doors of the Federal Chambers open up, a courtier enters wearing a stylized LP logo. He reads out the following note in a noticable Romanian accent
A democratic Monarchy, mind. His Majesty has proved himself a worthy citizen and capable soldier.Oh great, now on top of them calling ME an Imperialist after they try to restore a monarchy, we have ghosts in the Hofsburg?
I would like to clarify that Croatia will not be advancing into any Bosnian territory, only territory inhabited by Ethnic Croatians, and only inward a relatively small amount, mostly in the South, and we will not confiscate any property, nor commit wonton acts of murder, only retaliating if struck first. We will refrain from any offensive maneuvers, and will take up defensive trench lines on a perimeter outside the Croatian areas. We will not attack anyone, we are merely defending out people.
I have as nice of words for your Monarch as the last one I fought against, at least he didn't betray anyone, he just did what he was brought up to. Croatian state militia and the members of my co-operative are advancing, we will not advance far, and any attack on them will be regarded as an attack upon the state of Croatia, and will be met in kind. We will stop at the limits of Croatian territory, we are not imperialists, we are not the Monarchists here, we are not the new Sultan, that is your supposed leader. I think many Croatians will understand.A democratic Monarchy, mind. His Majesty has proved himself a worthy citizen and capable soldier.

Croatian Imperialism against Croatians? They should look at their supposed Monarch and his backers, such as the Kingdom of Bavaria, the same Germans who have dominated the Federation for so long with actual Imperialism. We will not take foreign territory, only Croatian, it's that simple, and my constituents and my people agree, along with the majority of Croatia's democratic populace.
