Stoke City chief Tony Scholes says they're keen to diffuse any row with the Bosnia FA over Asmir Begovic.
The goalkeeper almost was prevented from facing Birmingham City after Begovic's international no-show last week was reported to FIFA.
"There was an initial objection from the Bosnians to Asmir playing on Saturday," Scholes told The Sentinel, "and that followed a mis-understanding between them and Asmir over whether he had to travel to the United States last week.
"As a result, we entered into extensive discussions with them in the latter part of last week and, after those discussions, they didn't object to him playing against Birmingham.
"We also agreed that we would go and meet them to avoid this sort of thing happening again.
"Asmir is proud of his country and is keen to carry on playing for them.
"We just need to find a solution that meets the Bosnian FA's requirements, our club's requirements and, of course, which also meet Asmir's own desires.
"I would also like to stress that at no point has the club put any pressure on Asmir not to go and play for his country."
