Bc large empires don’t like to directly declare war on each other, and want to be seen as the defender that is helping a smaller state resist their imperial rival.

And the Balkans are a mix of ethnic groups, religions, and cultures that many Western empires found common causes with. So an empire could turn a proxy war into a hot war if the alliances align just right.
