Long, long ago, I visited Yugoslavia (as it was at the time). I would like to see it again and an attractive idea is to visit all of the successor states. Is a night or two in each capital with travel between them by bus or train feasible? At a guess, it would not be currently advisable to travel directly between Serbia and Kosovo but could I easily visit both if I entered via a third country.

A couple of successor states are now EU so I expect that I will have no problems visiting them. Can I make a visa free short visit to all of the others?

I am a dual British / Irish (hence EU) citizen. I expect that my Irish passport would be preferable for this trip. Or would it be a good idea to carry both so I could use a different one for Serbia and Kosovo?

Certainly it's preferable to use your Irish passport in Slovenia and Croatia, but if you're not coming up against the 90/180 limit on your UK passport then there's no particular reason to avoid using it, either. In addition to those countries, I've been in Bosnia a lot, and I doubt that you would find much difference using your Irish or UK passport. I suppose the same is true of the other parts of the former Yugoslavia, but I have no experience in those places. Certainly, none of them requires a visa of short-term visitors who are traveling with either passport:

This is a good site (for Croatia anyway) to find buses, trains and ferries: https://www.putovnica.net Generally Croatia and Slovenia are easily traveled by public traffic, I just don't know about the other countries.

As for crossing between Kosovo and Serbia, you could cross from Montenegro. I did not find any buses on the site above, but maybe there is a better place to look for local buses or maybe there are no buses and you'll have to get a cab.
