Explanation:

NATO conducted airstrikes against Bosnian military forces to force the beginning of peace talks. The Dayton Accords were signed after the airstrikes helped bring the parties to the negotiating table. The other options are incorrect as the Dayton Accords were signed after the airstrikes, the republics were not being forced to stay part of Yugoslavia in this context (Yugoslavia was already breaking apart), and the focus was on Bosnia - Herzegovina rather than Serbs leaving Croatia in this particular action.

Answer:

To force the beginning of peace talks.
