Anti-government protesters in Thailand have indicated that they will accept an offer by senators to mediate talks, amid increasing pressure to end violence.
Five days of street clashes between troops and protesters in Bangkok have left 37 people dead and scores more injured, the BBC reported.
A leader of the "red-shirt" protesters said the group would agree to the proposal to prevent more loss of life.
But it is not yet clear whether the government will take part in the talks.
A government spokesman said it was "not rejecting or accepting the senators’ offer yet," according to the BBC.
The United Nations yesterday called on protesters to "step back from the brink" and urged the government troops to exercise restraint.
