Very true. But if the Ottomans prove to be a threat to their neighbors then it will be a threat to the Bosnian kingdom itself, so I have doubts that the king will turn his back to the Pope at that dangerous time.
Only alternative I can see is for the Bosnian king to accept a subordinate status towards the Ottomans. This way he gains an ally against the Catholics and doesn’t have to worry about an invasion from the Ottomans. But a new problem with this is how will the population react to the Kings decision to side with the Turks. Could be problematic.
Another option would be for the already existing Church of Bosnia to go Uniate, accomplishing the same objective of differentiating Bosnians from their neighbors early, even earlier than former suggestion in fact, since it could have happened from the turn of the 12th century onward, without raising the crusade-o-meter quite as high.
