Mostar

Mostar is a city in southwest Bosnia and Herzegovina. It boasts a beautifully preserved and reconstructed Ottoman Town Centre, as well as several large-scale monuments (one to Communism, for example). Because it was a central point of the Yugoslavian war, Mostar is still subject to religious difference. The eastern side and the old town is unofficially Muslim-Bosnian, and the western and central part of town is Croatian. Most Croats don't visit the Muslim areas and vice versa. Try not bringing this up when in conversation with locals, as it is a very touchy subject that might bring about strange situations.
 * User:MaxHermens has heard stories of Croats not accepting Bosnian Marks, but insisting on trading with the Croatian Crown.

Southwest towards Međugorje, Neum, Dubrovnik (Croatia) (E73 and E65)
Hitchhiking out of Mostar to the southwest requires some walking, because the city sprawls for several kilometers in this direction. If you are in the Old Town (Old Bridge Area), a way to walk out of the city is to follow Tito St. and then turn left at the first crossing after the cemetery. You will see a signpost showing the directions for Sarajevo and Dubrovnik. Continue walking along this road for several kilometers until you reach the sign marking the city limits (the text "Mostar" with a line drawn through it). It can be difficult for cars to stop here, but eventually you should get lucky.

Another option might be taking a taxi to Buna, the next village. It's only about 5 KM and there is a perfect hitchhiking spot right at the main road.

Northeast towards Sarajevo
It's best to walk north on the east side of the river, and pass by the train station. Stand on any free patch of road after that with a sign.
 * You can also decide to keep on walking until you reach the south-north-ringroad, but there aren't that many good places for cars to stop here.

From Mostar to Sarajevo you have a good place for hitchhiking but you need to walk a few km from town. Go outside of city and follow sign toward Sarajevo and on right side after few km it will be big petrol station. isin: Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sleeping
Mostar has one of the coolest urban sleeping spots in the balkans -- the abandoned, war-damaged bank which incidentally is the tallest building in the city. There is seven floors and the roof top terrace to chose from -- it can be a little bit windy, but it might be worth moving away from the staircase as quite a lot of people come up to enjoy the splendid view over the city. As for now, you can still make a fire with leftover bank paperwork as a practice for the coming revolution.
