The Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia to the Kingdom of Spain, Filip Vučak, received, at the formal meeting of the City Council of Hrvatska Kostajnica on 13 June 2003, the highest acknowledgement of the town: "Charter of the City of Hrvatska Kostajnica ".

The Charter has been handed to him as a sign of acknowledgement for the successful settling of the border dispute in Hrvatska Kostajnica in August 2002. Ambassador Vučak had been on the head of a Committee of the Government of Croatia for border crossings with Bosnia-Herzegovina which after long negotiations succeeded to return under the Croatian sovereignty the territory between the rivers Una and Unčica which was controlled by the Republic of Srpska from 1991 to 2002..

From the establishment of the border crossing on 27 August 2002, the situation between two neighbouring towns of Hrvatska Kostajnica and Bosanska Kostajnica Kostajnica completely has fully normalised again and intensive passenger transport between both states continues without any incidents. The authorities of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina believe that this is a proof how even the most difficult open issues can be settled in agreeemnt, to the satisfaction of both sides.
