Because for the 2016 tournament the number venues will need to be 9-12, not a UEFA rule but one based on the experience of 1982-1994 world cups. Not only that but Fifa has set requirements for the tournament: - Minimum of 8 stadiums that must have 30,000 seats. - 3 of the 8 must have more then 40,000 seats and at least a 4-star rating. - And 1 must have a 5-star rating and 50,000 seats.
In Croatia the main stadiums would be: - Maksimir replacement/upgrade. 60,000 seats, 5-stars. - The stadiums in Split & Osijek would have been developed to meet the 4-star rating standard. And as far as I know such plans existed for Rijeka. If Croatia were to get Euro 2016, these plans would probably implemented. - Croatia would then need to built 4 more stadiums of 30,000 capacity.

"Croatia would then need to built 4 more stadiums of 30,000 capacity."
I'm thinking, Pula, Zadar, Karlovac and Varazdin

^ Since there will be 24 teams in 2016, what if 1-4 more venues are needed?

I read on Sportin some time ago how the coach of CRO's team said if Croatia ever tried to host it again it would be obvious they'd do it with BiH.
Now, to be quite honest, I don't think that could ever happen, I mean Bosnia getting it. Realistically speaking it could happen only if the share was 4/5 stadiums in Croatia and 3/2 in Bosnia, where in Bosnia they'd be in Sarajevo ,Tuzla and/or Zenica (Banja Luka would be obvious choice, as it's the 2nd biggest city, but it would be totally unuseful, as after such a cup the NT never plays there, nore does Borac have any high hopes of getting in the UEFA Cup yet alone the CL).
I doubt they'd give it to Mostar because of the same reason, there would be no need to build such a big stadium for a city of approximately 100000 people.
In Sarajevo Kosevo would just need a new facade. Actually maybe Bosnia would have some chances because it already hasted the Olympics in 84... but I really doubt it would ever happen...

Most Croatian cities don't need 30, 000 seat stadiums. Towns like Zadar, Sibenik, Varadzin, Cakovec, S. Brod, Dubrovnik, Pula really don't stadiums bigger then 15000-20000.

^ They do if Croatia wants to host Euro 2016. The requirement is at least 8 stadiums (9-12 are likely to be needed), 1 of 50,000 capaicty, 3 of 40,000 capacity, and the rest must be of at least 30,000.
