I'm hoping to visit Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Slovenia and was wondering if anybody knew what individual rail fares are like in those countries? I imagine the Interrail ticket is good value if you travel in the Western European countries, but perhaps I would save money if I just bought the individual rail tickets? As I have bought rail tickets in Slovakia and Czech Republic before and they were very cheap.

For Greece, Serbia , FYROMacedonia , Romania , Bulgaria and Turkey you can use the Balkan Flexi Pass:

which cost 50 euros for 5 days of travel within 1 month ( if i remember right)
Generally train tickets are not so expensive in eastern Europe so maybe its better to buy single tickets.

For places like Serbia, Macedonia, Montengro, Bosnia and to a certain extent Bulgaria, the bus is really the way to go. Trains are very cheap (cheaper than busses, and certainly not worth getting an interrail pass for) they are slow and unreliable.
And between certain cities there is no train, so a bus is the only way to go. I would recommend not getting an interrail ticket and waiting till you get to the city before deciding what form of transport to take.
