Most of the Muslims along the Sava River come from Serbia as the land along it quite often saw outbreaks of malaria due to its swampy nature, leading to depopulation. Ottoman policy was to keep Muslims away from border areas and a bit inland, but they needed to populate towns like Donja Azizija (Orasje, where Izetbegovic's family arrived from Serbia) with dealers, market traders, and so on. There were never many Muslims in Dalmatia, so their impact in BiH when their refugees arrived was minimal. More notable was the movement of Muslims from Lika to Bosanska Krajina, and especially those from Slavonia into Northern Bosnia (along with the examples you mentioned).
