Kupa River is a natural border between the two countries, but it has always presented more of a bond that connects than a border that separates the two nations.

Croatia is also expected to become part of these organizations, however due to lack of cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in a manhunt for fugitive general Ante Gotovina, in March 2005 its entrance has been postponed.
