. Until June 1430, it was considered that the inclusion of Vukašin in the conflict would be beneficial. In the fall of the same year, Dubrovnik changed its position and considered that the inclusion of Vukašin in the league against Radosav Pavlović would have an unfavorable effect on the people of Dubrovnik, because King Tvrtko II Kotromanić would oppose it. In mid-November 1430, hostilities broke out between the king and duke Vukašin. The king began his campaign against the Zlatonosović's. Thus, on November 22, 1430, a letter arrived from Dubrovnik to Sandalj Hranić expressing regret "for the incident that happened to Vukašin Zlatonosović", and about which the people of Dubrovnik were informed through ambassadors and merchants. Historians of medieval Bosnia believe that the Zlatonosović's were completely annihilated in the conflict with King Tvrtko II in 1430.
