Those Muslims you are referring to are more known as Bosniaks/ Bosnians, and they do have a country.
As for Bosniaks not being oppressed in Sandzak, well you are wrong. They were illtreated;
"
In neighboring Sandzak, with a large Muslim Slav population, there was similar discrimination, if not as intense as in Kosovo. The wave of state-sanctioned violence that swept through Sandzak during the war in Bosnia abated, but there was continued intimidation, harassment, and violence by the police in 1997. "
