The emperor summoned the High commissioner of Bosnia and Herzegovina, general Stjepan baron of Sarketie to hear his views on the Yugoslav question. On that occasion Sarkotić pleaded for revision of the law of 1868, the change consisting in the union of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Croatia.

The military govrners of Montenegro and Serbia who had talks with Sarkotić were expected to submit the Austro-Hungarian Supreme Headquarters a proposal concerning the solution of the Yugoslav Question.
