I had a cardboard with NIŠ -> SOFIA sign but it didn't help much. What it helped it was asking the truck drivers if they would take me.

I saved at the exit of the petrol station.

Maybe I was just lucky but a guy with his mom picked me up very quickly with my sign RO. He did make me cross the border on my own, but then he took me all the way to Timișoara

Bit long but I guess that’s what you get when thumbing in Serbia, got a ride to Vršac after an hour

Probably better to ask but I stood with a sign at the exit. One hour without success, then I took a break at the McDonald’s and a guy picked me up right after to Belgrade, where public transport is free

Took a bit of time but eventually you’ll find a ride going towards either Belgrade or Novi Sad.

Good spot to hitch, I was going back to niš I took a hitch to pečenjevec. Which was probably a mistake timewise, but I ended up drinking with a Roma and a Serbian man in the small town so it paid off, dont take a hitch to one of the smaller towns west of the highway if you are tight on time and want to get to Niš

A guy drove me from Belgrade to IKEA, there is a nice gas station where you can hitch further south.
Its unlikely you'll end up here, but if you do its a great spot

there was a spot with 6 local school children hitchhiking right after school closing, but me and my friend decided to walk an extra 1.5km down the road to a different spot to not take their rides.
Theres a perfect hitch spot 1.5km south of this spot at a bus station.

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

Gas station and rest area – a perfect spot for both northbound and southbound directions! Many cars heading to Oslo and Gothenburg, and one was even going all the way back to Serbia. Ask people at the gas station and in the charging area. I got a ride to Oslo.

We got dropped off here at around 10pm and said "fuck it we ball", stood in the middle of the road with thumbs up once every 5mins when a car passed. Somehow we scored a ride to Gyor, which was our direction, but if you're going to Hungary and by some miracle end up here, best of luck. most drivers are either going to Zagreb or alomg the border towards Serbia. the hungarian cars thend to be families of 4. Also, illegal. Have fun ;)

We were 2 guys. A lot of cars passing through, they are going slow so they can clearly see you. When we were there, it was the middle of July so must of the cars were families going home from vacation so cars were full. After like 2 hours we declined 1 ride to Gevgelija. After another 2 hours we finally got a ride and it was all the way to Belgrade, we had a sign Serbia. Before we also tried with sign Skopje.

Another attempt with a Villach/Slovenia sign, on a weekday, not many vans. First day waited 2 hours with no luck, second day was just about to give up when a Serbian guy (going to Serbia) took me. Be patient. There is a supermarket in the village 3 km north, u can use the tunnel to get to the other side of highway and there is a small road that goes to the village. When u get at Bundesstrasse, on your right, just where the forest ends and farm houses bedin, there is a very nice hunters tower where you can spend the nite and save time on pitching the tent

Managed to hitch a ride straight to Romania. Plenty of traffic towards Hungary, Romania and Serbia, especially on fridays and saturdays. Great spot certainly worth the walk from the nearest Bratislava bus stop ("Čunovské jazerá").
