Serbia is a country in Southern Europe, located in former Yugoslavia. It contains two provinces - Vojvodina and Kosovo and Metohija . It is pretty easy to hitchhike during the day, but during the night it gets very hard. Street lighting are rare outside of the cities, and even the smaller cities are not so easy to hitch beside. 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.
Roads have generally an excellent quality when compared to other countries in the region (e.g. Romania or Bulgaria).
Hitchhiking on the motorway is frowned upon, but you won't get into any trouble. Police will only please you to go off at the next ramp.
