agree with you. I also think Ottoman-Turkish.
Why?
Some typical characteristics:

the tulip like decoration, which is typical Turkish and Ottoman Turkish.
Next to the repetitive decorations in Sufi-like style which you also can find in Turkey and Ottoman Turkey.

Although sufism is well spread in the Balkans, specially Albania and Hercegova and also Bosnia...you do not see this kind of decoration there but rather other repetitive types.
But never exclude the odd exception...
