The Press Centre will not open until tomorrow at 11.00. Yesterday we were told it would be open at 9.00a.m. but this has now changed to 11.00a.m.
If I were the Montenegro delegation I would be a bit worried.....most of the press need about 30 minutes to set up to be ready to publish and if, as it seems, we all have to attend a press conference at 11.00 for "further information" then this leaves very little time to get ready....
There were not very many happy faces at the accreditation centre today....about 50-60 people had arrived ready to do some preparatory work, with more coming later today, to be told "come back tomorrow press centre is not ready"
Despite this various web sites, including the official site www.eurovision.tv still say the centre is open today.
Hummmm well we knew there would be teething problems and that some thing's would need work-arounds but to not have the press centre, the focus of most of the action for the next 6 days, ready for journalists arriving from all over the world is (being diplomatic here) not the best situation
Honestly I can't see rehearsals starting much before about 12.30p.m. tomorrow......
