Reflecting on the entire Bosnia region, the situation is similar to that in Sarajevo; Bosnia can be described as a natural arena for Croatians, Serbians, and the Ottomans.
Later, Austria-Hungary occupied the area, but it was not smooth sailing. The infiltration by Ottoman Empire remnants and Serbia, an external force, made the local investment scenario quite adverse.
Therefore, the Heixinggen consortium and the East African Government behind it could only adjust strategies, choosing the relatively easier-to-control southwest region of Bosnia as the main penetration area.
Being a German country, East Africa naturally distrusts the remnants of the Ottomans and the Serbians revitalized by extreme nationalism. Thus, the Heixinggen consortium colluded with the Austrian-Hungarian military at the time to drive the Ottoman remnants centered in Mostar and the Serbian immigrants inland to places like Sarajevo in Bosnia.
