analysis: The text appears to be a report on a conflict or dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, specifically related to an event that occurred on the border between the two countries. The report mentions statements from authorities and officials from both governments, as well as documentation and on-site inspections. This suggests that the report is focused on a political or diplomatic issue rather than an economic or social one.
