Another thing: would Turkey try their luck in helping the Albanians and Bosnians in the Balkans?
i recall reading that the austrian army was mobilized to the slovene border.
there could maybe be some incident to bring them into the war too.

This i doubt. Austria is officially neutral, like Switzerland. It is not even part of NATO.
with a war on their border threatening to spill over.
when someone shoots at you you ask questions later.
How? They don't have a common border with them.Another thing: would Turkey try their luck in helping the Albanians and Bosnians in the Balkans?
I don't know how to include Romania and Hungary into this as both the local Romanians and Hungarians in Serbia never had a militant seperatist and terrorist movement like the Albanians did (at least none I would have heard of) and there was no reason for hostility between those minorities in question and the Serb government. I see no reason why Serbia would go after her Hungarian and Romanian minority.
Angel Heart said:I could see things escalating in post-Oluja Bosnia if Slobo decides to send the VJ there and save the Republika Srpska if things really go down the crapper but even him sending the VJ would be a big if.
As for the VRS, maybe I'm wrong as my extensive background research hasn't yet reached 1995 yet, but AFAIK the VRS was going for a strategic retreat and massing in Banja Luka. The battle for Banja Luka might have been really nasty. I think it may have gone either way with either the HV/ArBiH capturing Banja Luka or failing to do so with eventually the war being stuck in a stalemate if the VRS manages to reorganize by time for the until the next peace talks. Besides if I am not mistaken NATO even threatened to bomb the ArBiH if they continued their advance towards Banja Luka.
How much things escalate depends on how much the warring parties are willing to ignore the threats of NATO and the international community.
Angel Dark said:As for Kosovo there has been a lot of talk about a potential ground aggression of NATO though personally I do not see a reason why they would do that. The bombing campaign was enough. While the damage NATO inflicted on the VJ was minimal, the damage to the civilian infrastructure was devastating. Slobo capitulating was only a matter of time as he couldn't have afforded Serbia to be turned into an economic wasteland like North Korea.
