only romanian car was parked - asked and got a lift to the border. you can go to closer serbian cities without a problem tho. bus 108 comes right to the gas station.

Great Gas Station for Zagreb, friendly staff, gave me cardboard and marker to write Zagreb, people bought me water. Had to wait less than 10 mins for a ride directly to Zagreb

evening of Saturday, all cars are full. after 40 minutes got a great ride to Nis, asked to drop at the gas station on the highway right before that. easy to keep going to Belgrade.

Probably the best spot to get out of Vrsac, enough room to stop, but not too much traffic

Not many cars here. I had to hitchhike on highway where some guy stopped and took me after around 15 mins of waiting here

It is not the best spot to hitchike even though local lad convinced me that I will find my ride quickly. This spot located right next to customs, so yeah heavy traffic but most people don't pay attention much. So it was easier to take bus to Velika Reka for approximately 4€. DO NOT RECOMMEND

just stand near the border road and someone will take you. i don't recommend crossing by foot, because a lot of tunnels are ahead with tiny or no sidewalks.

nothing. a lot of space, but it's a crossroad with many different directions, drivers are distracted from you and people are very hesitant in this city to take you. we were 2 males here, met another italian hitchhiker.
we decided to go further and were taken by bus for free.

"abondened" bus station. bus driver first asked us for money, left, came back and took us to novy pazar for free. was actively trying to explain, that nobody will take us here.
it's a muslim majority region, waiting times are higher but it's fine.

along the road in presevo and all the way to kosovo border you can hitchhike with 0 problems. just keep walking and keep thumbing. i got many small rides, not putting it all on the map.

I was lazy to go to toll station on the highway, so I stood here.
There is a place to stop, and(but) little traffic, because it only comes from 2 villages.
Still works tho.

Nice spot as cars are turning onto motorway from 3 directions and also can see you from a distance while they wait at the lights. Got a ride in 15 mins to Gradiska border with Serbia. I waited just past the crossing after vehicles have turned onto westbound highway, there is a bus layby behind me where my driver could pull in. Sign read BIH / Kutina

great spot to get to Kumanovo, if you want to go to Serbia after. ask for makpetrol station near Kumanovo, there are a lot of cars there and easy to get to.
had a sign "КУ", and was waving aggressively at "KU" plate cars.

First I wait near the gas station, but this spot has many trucks stopping - after leaving the terminal they can easily see you. Entering the terminal is not permitted, but the border guard in the window helped me and asked some driver to take me. So (with his pause to sleep) I drive through all Serbia to Macedonia.

Low traffic gas station and cars are often full but almost all of them go to Serbia and to Belgrade. You can find a car that is not full. Ask around with Serbian words to be polite and don't use a board. I had actually made some old Serbian friends that wanted to help me find an empty car lol. Thanks Milica and Zora!

Waited not that long actually but was lucky because very low traffic and cars are full. However you should probably find someone to go in direction of Serbia or to some gas station further where most of them will go to Serbia. Learn some words and phrase in Serbian to be polite. Ask around don't use cardboard. Thanks Alex!

This place was perfect to go to Serbia. Someone took me to Niš. My last destination was Belgrade, but from Niš to Belgrade was easy as well

Cars pass slowly and there is some grass to sit. No shade. After 30min I got picked up (after changing my sign to ‚25km M5‘ instead of Serbia). Still got 200km. I‘d recommend this spot over the one below.

pretty easy to get lifts, especially with truckers. Just go up to them as they sort their papers. got taken to rožaje then via his mate's car to the service station on the way to serbia

You're probably not going to get a ride all the way to where you want to go but there is a nice traffic light with a countdown so you just go in the middle of the road asking everyone and they'll bring you somewhere. I took 3 rides to get to the border to Serbia, crossed on foot and got to Pirot then bus to Nis cause you're not going anywhere if you get stuck in Pirot.

Not an ideal spot to hitch to Serbia since its the start of the town, but we got dropped off here and we got picked up in 3 minutes

A lot of Serbians cars going after the work (16-17:00) back home. A lot of traffic. I believe this is a good spot (especially for Serbia, where they don't usually take hitchhikers). You don't even need a sign.
True that you won't get far though.

It seems to be a pretty good place to hitchhiking in the direction of Budapest. There is a gas station, a large parking lot for which trucks and passenger cars stand. The station can be reached directly from the E60 road. We tried to catch transport from there to Budapest (from where we wanted to go further towards Belgrade) we were lucky and we came across a driver from Serbia who easily offered us a ride to Belgrade. In general, the traffic is quite high and a lot of locals and tourists. (There is also a Tesla charging station so maybe you can hitchhiking a Tesla)

We used this spot to go to the Serbian border. Not many cars going to the highway/to Serbia from here, mostly local traffic. There is a traffic light that’s red very often for the cars, so they stand a lot and can see you well. There is space to pick you up.

Good place to catch a ride to Tuzla, traffic is slow and many cars returning from Serbia are passing there

Don't accept rides to Csengele if you want to go to Serbia, you may eventually get lucky and get out of this godforsaken place but you'll lose a lot of time trying, mostly tourists with packed cars or truck drivers heading towards Romania stop there
