'''Serbia''' (Serbian: ''Србија / Srbija''), is a country in [[Southern Europe]], located in former ''Yugoslavia''. It contains two autonomous provinces: [[Vojvodina]] and [[Kosovo]] & Metohija. However, Kosovo declared independence in 2008.
In '''Serbia''' most of the main roads have junctions off towards the cities, so you could be dropped 4 or 5 km away from the nearest place and find yourself having to walk to the next decent junction.

''Summer 2022: Long waiting time, don't think that you will pass Serbia by rapidly. '' ''
''I was crossing Serbia from the North Makedonia going to Slovakia. I did not plan to stay in Serbia, just to pass it by.'' ''I was lucky 2 times: I was picked up by a guy in Makedonia with whom we passed some distance in Serbia, after I was picked up by Spanish woman only because her GPS was not working and I should use mine to help her find the way to Italy. She took me when I was just walking forward the highway desperate waiting in vain for 2h. Afterwards, I was stopping cars for 2h in the gas station - no one stoped. Overthinking that gas station could be a "bad spot" I found another one in a highway where I was waiting for 2h more in vain. It seems that neither stopping with sing, nor without has the save same effect. It was getting dark, so I thought that in the morning will be better. Mistake: I waited for 3h more in the morning, and some guy took me for 10(!) km! It's a joke, right? '' ''After waiting another 1h I was taken and this time we did for 100+ km. Afterwards, 2h of waiting on in vain, breakfast, 2h more. 2 guys stopped during that time, but they were going other direction. So, I decidedly decided to take a short bus ride between the small cities to change the spot. Was taken till another border-city, and final 15km I did due to taxi-driver who took me "because I look like a stranger", I was not even asking him to stop.
''So, I did not like hitchhiking in Serbia, and I measure it as a 2nd worse hitchhiking experience in Europe after Turkey''. -

''I hitchhiked through the entirety of Serbia (North to South) in a single summer day, but had some trouble too. There was fairly low traffic on the highway and even at the border on that day, so stopping at service stations meant that I could approach at most thirty cars an hour and they were rarely going the right direction. I could see that traffic was much higher towards the other direction, so it was probably seasonal. It is probably advisable to stop at the toll stations instead. In the end I got lucky and found a direct ride to Skopje just short of Belgrad.'' - [[User:Rebew|Rebew]] ([[User talk:Rebew|talk]]) 19:12, 18 August 2022 (CEST)
