Eh, I side with Turkey over Greece.

Doing more research, I realize just how truly bizarre the Bosnian War was.

Serbia had support of Greece, Russia, and other Orthodox nations.
Croatia had the support of Neo-Nazis, and hyper-radical Catholics.

And the weird one, Bosnians had the support of NATO and the Muslim World, meaning that the US and Iranian Revolutionary Guard were on the same side. Bosnian Records indicate that several hundred Revolutionary Guards shipped into that Warzone.

Although if the Mahdi Army failure at Najaf in 2004 is any guide (Al-Sadr’s force had Iranian advisers), the Iranian RG influence might well have been a negative for the Bosnians. The ‘Pasadran’ (as the Revolutionary Guard is sometimes called in Iran) tended to favor frontal assaults that let the US(and likely the Serbs before them) used superior firepower to simply blow away the attacking enemy.
