Croatia is okay for hitchhiking. Your rides will often tend be short though. Through the holiday time and along the costs it can be that you have to wait some hours in the sun for the next lift. Many tourists, nearly no feedback from the drivers.

Border Crossings
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. I encounterd that when nobody offered me a ride for 2 hours out of Zagreb. The solution is easy and cheap - go to Zagreb train station, and check the timetable (it is registered as internal traffic) for trains going to the village of Sutla. There are 7 trains like this a day. Buy a ticket till Sutla (1.5 Euro), and stay on board after the train passes Sutla, to the slovene village of Dobova (it takes 5 minutes, no conductors). From there it's easy to continue your way to Maribor and Ljubljana.
