* Montenegro
** [[Montenegro-Croatian border crossing]].
 
=== To [[Slovenia]] ===
Now that Slovenia had joined the [[Schengen]] agreement, and thereby becoming the external border of the E.U, less drivers are willing to drive strangers into Slovenia. It can be difficult to get a ride from Zagreb to Slovenia. To avoid troubles and good chances of getting stuck while hitchhiking in this direction, some hitchhikers chose to go to Zagreb train station, buy a ticket till Sutla (1.5 Euro), and stay on-board after the train passes Sutla up until the Slovene village of Dobova (these are 5 minutes of a voyage with no ticket check) - from there it's easy to hitch further towards [[Maribor]] or [[Ljubljana]].
From [[Županja]] exit (off of A3 / E70) toward [[Tuzla]]. Bosnian driver offered ride at beginning of ramp, insisted on trying border crossing in car. Ca. 400m between checkpoints. Traffic is good.
=== To [[Montenegro]] ===

Hitchhiking out of [[Dubrovnik]] - which is the last major town in the south of Croatia - does not seem that difficult, although it might require some luck. Just climb up to the coastline road and hitchhike on the E65 to the South.
 
Most drivers, though, are heading mainly towards either airport or the small town of Gruda. It is still about 10 km from there to the [[Montenegro-Croatian border crossing]]. Since the traffic is pretty low on that road, you will need some luck to find someone crossing the border and willing to take you. Most probably you will be picked up by some tourists. If you wait considerably long, you will probably need to walk to the border.
 
Some Croatian drivers apparently still have strong feelings about Montenegro. Be aware that putting the name of a city in Montenegro on your sign might distract some Croatians from picking you up.
