There is no Bosnian nationality, there are only Catholic Croats, Orthodox Serbs, and Islamic Serbs who fell in a moment of weakness during the Turkish invasions and slavery.

What's the difference between Croats and Serbs beyond the faith of their forefathers? How many Croats converted to Orthodoxy and how many Serbs converted to Catholicism in past 600 years? Weren't many Croats Orthodox at one time and weren't first Serbian kings Catholic?
As for the rest: yes, it was a common sense that Croatian and Serbian boys could be sold to the Ottoman Sultan as slaves (future Janissaries) - unless if parents would pretend they converted to the Muslim faith. That tells a lot.
