Safety

Other than somebody trying to steal from my wife's purse in Zagreb, I think these places are quite safe.

People

Most are friendly. However, I would think Bosnia > Slovenia > Montenegro > Croatia

Climate
Very hot in the summer, temperature mainly in mid to upper 30's. Take it easy.

Other suggestions
1) I had a horrible experience with private transfer to the airport at Dubrovnik, take a taxi which is readily available or the much cheaper airport bus.
2) Walk the Dubrovnik city wall is a must, but do it in the evening (the wall closes at 8pm) when the lights are better and the weather not as hot.
3) Go to Plitvice as early as possible to avoid the crowd. It is not that bad anyway.
4) The cavesin Slovenia, particularly Skokjan, is really worth going.

Hi dillon,
It seems to me that bus is faster and more convenient in Croatia. I travelled in the middle of summer and I needed not purchase tickets in advance, so I think it should be better in early July.

You may want to check these sites on bus schedule:

Hi, how did you go to the accommodation at Dubrovnik ?
My accommodation is within walking distance from the bus terminal or the ferry terminal. It is about 10 minutes on foot. the walled old city is 3 km away to the South, and the airport is over 20 km away. There are frequent bus services going to the old city, and many people prefer staying in the old city.

To the airport a taxi is the most convenient. There are also airport buses going from the bus terminal to the airport.

It is very expensive inside the old city. That's why I stayed 3 km away. I booked through booking.com. The one I booked was about the cheapest I could find, but the quality was good.

Local bus to the old city is frequent. I could stay late in the old city and got a bus back, so the distance wasn't a problem.
