Franz Ferdinand supposedly wanted to adopt the “Trialist” solution (make the South Slavs a third group on par with the Austrians and the Hungarians in the empire). Whether he would have really tried to implement that if he had come to power is uncertain. For Princip and people like him, that ran against what they wanted for Bosnia—they wanted to get rid of Austro-Hungarian rule altogether.

Very true. Franz Ferdinand was set against the annexation of Bosnia Herzogovina as being worthless as assets and nothing but trouble. Franz Joseph and his clique overruled him.
