Papandreou said he would now be willing to stand aside but gave no commitment, a requirement from New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras, who also demanded elections before taking part in talks for a coalition government.
Papandreu je rekao da bi sada bio spreman da stoji po strani, ali nije ništa obećao, a to je bio uslov lidera Nove demokratije Antonisa Samarasa, koji je takođe tražio izbore pre ulaska u razgovore o koalicionoj vladi.
