*: Albania is completely safe, you can easily stop cars, and it's a great way to see countryside life.
*: The problem, however, is that hitchhiking is not part of Albanian culture and most drivers will expect money. I'd suggest learning the Albanian phrase for "Can you take me straight for free?" and saying that to drivers immediately when they stop. Be prepared that some drivers will refuse to take you for free. But if the first driver just goes on and leaves you waiting, almost always the second or third car will take you.

*: It can happen that people expect money, because standing at the streetside asking for a ride in cars, taxis, little busses is a part of the albanian public transport system.

*: i propose to hitch-hike with signs (because money-paing locals don't use this, so the drivers can expect, that you're something different).
*: when a car stop, say him something like "por.... jo para.... jo problem?" (but.... no money... no problem?) (the r sayed like an english r) and make it clear with gesticulation. Then they will take you or not and you will have no problem. An other useful word: mirë (=mir) is like dobro in slavic: good/fine/ok.
