DBWI: Serbian Independence Before Croatia?

What difference would it make to the political climate of the Balkans, or Europe as a whole, if Serbia had overthrown the Ottomans before Croatia.

Well considering the Croatian Republic was formed by General Hoche's Army of the Balkans, we would need to see a different French Revolutionary war. I can't see the French marching through Croatia and Creating Serbia first. The Ottomans were still a viable for at the time so maybe the Russians find a way to overpower the Ottomans and become masters of the Balkans.
 
The big problem is: Austria and Hungary are going to move into Croatia before Serbia (of course, OTL Serbia was an independent Kingdom while Croatia was part of A-H, but that's not what you mean really). So we need to have Russia pushing from the East while weakening Austria.

The big problem is that without Serbia, Croatia is really untenable, so even getting Serbia going first, Croatia will soon follow, or go at the same time.
