Selected
potpisnik je potvrdio ovaj dokument kao svoj
This document was acknowledged before me on this 1st day of Dec... by the person who signed it
IOW if you want to avoid using the passive form
the person who signed it in my presence has acknowledged the document at his/her own
"the acknowledgement" is about the document, not the signature - the notary is there to confirm who signed the document, the signatory is the one confirming i.e. "acknowledging" that he/she knows what he/she is signing and is signing it freely.
Can be probably be better worded, but the key point is that the document is being acknowledged by the signatory as his/her own.
