We present preliminary differential fiducial cross sections on Central Exclusive Production (CEP, $pp\to pXp$) of two opposite-charge mesons ($X=\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $K^{+}K^{-}$) in midrapidity region with small squared four-momentum transferred from forward protons, $0.03<|t_{1}|,|t_{2}|<0.2~\textrm{GeV}^{2}$. The process was measured in the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in proton-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}~=~200~\textrm{GeV}$.
