Tell your friend to join BJB forum - http://forum.bjbikers.com/, introduce himself properly here - http://forum.bjbikers.com/index.php?...janje-clanova/ , tell people about his plans and ask for some practical advices here - http://forum.bjbikers.com/index.php?...e-i-putovanja/ .

It is Serbian forum, but he can find there guys from all over Ex-Yugoslavia. I am convinced that info gained there will be very useful to your friend.
