Yeah. The actual assassination was performed by members of Young Bosnia, which was a nationalist group that incorporated some anarchist ideas that obviously got them labeled as pure anarchists despite wanting to, you know, create a new state named… Drumroll… Yugoslavia.
The Young Bosnians were funded, helped, and organized by a group called The Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist group composed of various military officers and the crown prince, out to create a Balkan empire dominated by Serbia. Their preferred name for that, btw, is back in style under the Greater Serbia moniker.
The funny thing about the assassination is that accomplished all the aims of the assassins, namely the destruction of the AHE and creation of a Yugoslavia controlled by the Serbian royal family.

As long as it doesn’t come out afterwards that the Crown Prince of Serbia was running the conspiracy with half of his military officers

Is that true? I’m woefully undereducated when it comes to the events leading up to WW1
