Dinkic also said that so far 300 reporters asked for the accreditation and repeated that "he hopes that opposition parties will finally rise above their quarrels and particular interests, because people in Serbia want changes and they have no more time for waiting."

But, he added that "if they get guarantees that the rally will have one unique demand, for the transitional government, headed by the Prof. Dragoslav Avramovic" they wouldn't missed the participation. "We want to have clear situation and that this rally articulate current discontent of the people, that has been showed everyday around Serbia. If such demands become clear, we will participate the rally," Pavic Obradovic said to the reporters.
