User:Vacant0/Sources
I've thought of creating this page for some time now, and I've ultimately decided to do it. This page will contain reliable, situational, and unreliable sources that are either deemed as such by myself or a WikiProject or WP:RSP.
Serbian sources
[edit]Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) runs a project Media Ownership Monitor which aggregates all media in Serbia. It is a great resource for learning which media is reliable and which is not. You can access their official website by clicking on the link. Another helpful resource is KRIK's Raskrikavanje project which publishes investigative journalism regarding media. Their 2025 report on disinformation is located on that link.
