Threatening Swiss business interests and backmailing all Europe so that it puts diplomatic pressure on Switzerland, will do the job of reversing or ignoring that vote. and this after the financial crisis and Switzerland already having been under fire for their silent support of financial crimes and tax evasions in other countries because Switzerland benefits from that. They had to give some ground already on that. One could say that they currently have something like an identity crisis, which is a part - a part! - of the explanation why they banned minaretts.

It's also longterm tourism concerns. If you make holidays in the alpes, the last thing you want to see is the sihouette of Oriental archictecture melting itself nicely into the panorama of the mountain's skyline or the the idyll of that swiss village you happen to stay in. If you want that, you move to the southern Balkans for vacation.
