Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources ↗ as appropriate.

:Hello @Diannaa,
:Thank you for bringing the copyright policy to my attention. I apologize for my laziness in limiting my quotations and paraphrasing the Prishtina Insight article. I'm aware of the content that was removed from the page, and I have decided to remedy the situation by proposing this paraphrase for the removed text below:
:Slavko Simić was initially proposed as the Serb deputy speaker by the Serb List on 26 August 2025, but the nomination was rejected three times. Basha did not allow Simić to be proposed a fourth time, interpreting that the Constitutional Court ruling that stated a candidate can only be nominated three times for speakership also extended to the procedure to elect deputy speakers. After the Serb List refused to nominate another candidate, Basha began drawing lots among the Serb List MPs, and three candidates called from the lots were rejected.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Kosovo Elects Parliament Speaker, But Deadlock Continues |url=https://prishtinainsight.com/kosovo-elects-parliament-speaker-but-deadlock-continues/ |date=26 August 2025 |access-date=9 June 2026 |work=Prishtina Insight |last=Isufi |first=Perparim |lang=en |quote=Basha maintained that the same rule applies for the election of the deputy speakers, but Srpska Lista’s MP Igor Simic did not agree and insisted on Slavko Simic’s candidacy.}}</ref>
