When the Ottomans dominated the Balkans, Britain and France supported Bulgaria, when Bulgaria would unify the Balkans, Britain and France supported Serbia and Greece, and when the Serbs united the Balkans, Britain, France and Germany supported the Muslims within its borders.
The goal of the Western Europeans was to ensure that the Balkans could not be united as Prussia had united Germany and Savoy had united Italy. A united and powerful Balkans would be a threat to Western Europe, hence the need to ensure that the Balkans were divided, backward and poor.
No one cares what Ustasha did. And no one cares how many extra graves were created in Sarajevo after the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina? For noble Western Europeans, wars beyond the Danube were just barbarians, orcs crushing each other, merely worthy of playful banter like the Romans watched a gladiator.
