Did Gavrilo Princip ever express regret for his actions during imprisonment?

Accepted answer
The Serb conspirators did express regret at the deaths of what they considered "innocent" third parties, but basically felt that they did what they needed to do on behalf of their beloved Serbia.
Gavrilo Princip, the main assassin, did express regret at his trial for killing the Archduchess" (the wife of Archduke Franz Ferdinand), but asserted that he was a Yugoslav Nationalist aiming for the freedom of his people.
Another conspirator, 17-year old Vaso Cubrilovich, told the United Press in the 1950s,
"If I had known what tragic results there would have been in world history, I would have thought twice about my actions. I would not today come out and defend Austria, but using assassination was not the right way to accomplish our political goals. But the war would have broken out anyway, because the system of international tensions would have made it inevitable." (The foregoing is my rough translation from German sources.)
