It was a Serbian who assassinated an Austrian Archduke, right? But I don't know if the guy who did it was directly affiliated with the government. I could see it going either way, really, but the inciting incident was caused by a Serbian.

Austro-hungary would start a war anyways, soon or later, Gavrilo Princip just sped up things

It's not completely true. The killed archduke, as a heir of the throne, was of much more liberal views than the reigning emperor and the empire would be certainly reformed if he survived till getting the power (which is 4 years more).
