== Accommodation ==
People from the [[Balkans]] are very friendly and may help you a lot. They may not only pay you a drink (Notice that in the Balkans countries, one person pays the drinks for all the people drinking together! So either pay for everybody or enjoy your free drink!), but they might accommodate you at their place.
In Bosnia, you will find a lot of partially built/destroyed houses (war!) where it is often possible to sleep (many of them still have a roof). Those houses are empty for years and are often quite clean, so a mattress and a sleeping bag may be enough to spend a good night.

If you will go from Gradiska, Banja Luka to Sarajevo, in this part of Bosnia people are a little bit afraid to pick you up. They said things like some people that was hitchhiking robe some drivers and they are afraid to pick up hitchhikers but truck drivers are not so afraid so try more with them, you do not have anything to lose just ask every car if you will hitchhike on petrol stations or anywhere else. Area around Sarajevo and toward Tuzla are better for hitchhiking, people are more friendly in this area. Area around Mostar, people also have stories about accidents with hitchhikers. They only have this accidents with local people that were hitchhiking, there were not problems with foreigners. Even that you could heard all this stories, it is possible to always catch rides and you will always find some good people to help you. Sometimes you will wait few minutes, sometimes one hour or more but you will find your way.
From Banja Luka to Sarajevo it is not so easy to catch ride in Travnik. You can really stuck in Travnik, at end of city is a big bus station and it is very good place to hitchhike. A lot of cars will go to Sarajevo but they do not like to stop. You can move to different place at entrance of city. In Travnik you have at beginning of city one petrol station and it is good place to hitchhike but very small number of cars are stopping there on petrol station but also a lot of drivers are going toward Sarajevo and if they want they have a lot of space to stop on this petrol station. Bus station at end of city is better place but you need to have luck on both places.
