NATO wanted to go in. It's not like they were reluctant or whatever... Those within NATO (and outside it) who were itching for a war, faced with the threat of increasing obsolescence and growing irrelevance, had torpedoed every attempt at peace in the Balkans.

They were looking for a purpose, and the only purpose, their sole reason d'etre, as far as military alliances go, is waging war.

The Lisbon Agreement was the most overt example of interference ("If you don't like it, don't sign it," Warren Zimmerman to the Bos. Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic), but not the only time the U.S. made any kind of peace impossible.

Some "war". The Serbs were lucky the Croats were ordered to stop in August 1995.
