There may be some instances, where it is justified to link to a propaganda 
source. For example, if you have an article about Serbian history, I would 
not protest against having a link to freesrpska, provided that a comment 
explains the nature of that site. But we don't need to have this link on 
every page about a detail of Serbian history. Take for example the article 
"Skull Tower"; it is a quite short article, but it is followed by three 
(!) links to the freesrpska page, among them a subpage pretending to 
explain the "Islamic conflict on the Balkan" (see 
http://www.freesrpska.org/en/prevare/islam.html for that blatant 
propaganda). Our readers will click on these links and read all this 
garbage.

Nikola (the author of the articles) offered to provide a comment next to 
all these links, reading "be warned that some of other articles on this 
site might be propagandistic and biased" - but I consider it dangerous to 
have these links at all.
