As Thailand's red-shirted protesters began a fifth day of demanding fresh elections on Thursday, the country's Prime Minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, said he was willing to negotiate.              

But only under certain conditions.              

[Abhisit Vejjajiva, Thai Prime Minister]: 

"I'm willing to conduct talks under conditions that protests are peaceful. If the protests become unruly, I cannot accept any talks."        

Just days ago, Abhisit rejected the protesters' demands to dissolve parliament and call new elections.              

But the red shirts are refusing to go away, setting up tents and make-shift kitchens on the streets.              

Although the number of protesters has dwindled from its peak of 150-thousand on Sunday, tens of thousands still remain.        

They promise a city-wide march on Saturday, with reinforcements to replace thousands of protesters who become weary after days in the Bangkok heat.   

The red shirts support former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a coup in 2006, and later sentenced in absentia to two years in jail for graft.  

Officials in Montenegro say he now has Montenegrin citizenship and arrived in the country earlier this week.
