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.
