Apparently, Bosniacs is correct. Bosnians refers to the citizens of Bosnia as a whole. Bosniacs are one of 3 major ethnic groups (to whom Biden also referred):

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a multi-ethnic state with Bosniacs (40%), Serbs (33%), and Croats (20%) as the largest ethnic groups. Their separate ethnic identities partly stem from different religious affiliations. Bosniacs belong to the Islamic, Croats to the Roman Catholic, and Serbs to the Orthodox tradition. The Bosnian war (1992-1995) was one of the most devastating wars in Europe since World War II. The most recent figures indicate that about 100 000 out of a population of 4.4 million were killed and at least as many were injured
