Not sure if its been said, but best bet id have thought is train to Bari and the ferry across to Bar in Montenegro. 40-50k then on the other side. Its basically 24hrs by train to Bari.
ive done a sleep in italy down to Puglia. Had my bike in a bag in my cabin and was fine. Not sure if they let you have an unboxed/bagged bike in the cabin.
After I posted I looked at it a bit more and saw that google could get me to Budva in Montenegro in just under 2 days. And I once cycled from Budva to Shkoder in a day.
That included a Flixbus leg from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik. Flixbus have bike racks so that bit might work (for maybe four people per bus - how many entries are they expecting?), but it also included a Globtour Croatia bus. I checked their bike carriage policy the other day, and it says they take bagged/boxed bikes in winter but not in summer as they are too busy! If you pack your bike small and ask nicely, you might get on, but no guarantee.
