People are extremely friendly here but many of the roads are really terrible which means it will take a long long time to cross from south to north. You If you're heading towards Montenegro, you may want to avoid [[Kosovo]] also to avoid additional complications, so if you're headed east, its best to cross through [[Serbia]] and then [[Macedonia]].

Particularly when hitching the coast from Kotor through Herceg-Novi toward Croatia, you'll mostly be on a 2 lane road bounded by steep mountains and with little or no shoulder - so your ability to easily and safely walk roadside will be compromised, as will the ability for drivers to find a place to pull over.  The border crossing from Montenegro to Croatia is on the outskirts of Herceg-Novi. You might find that people are hesitant to drive you over the border. If you find yourself on foot at the crossing, it's approximately 1.2km (moderately uphill) from the border station exiting Montenegro to the border station to enter Croatia. Once on the Croatia side of the crossing, it's easy to catch a ride.  Toward Albania: When headig this direction, particularly from Croatia through Kotor, instead of a steep mountain right on the side of the road and little or no shoulder, you've got the sea and little or no shoulder.
