Indonesia's attorney general insists the executions of Andrew Chan, Myuran Sukumaran and other drug offenders are going ahead, even though he's decided to respect the legal processes pending for at least one.
The Australians were moved from Bali to Nusakambangan - the island reserved for their executions - last week under heavy security.
Authorities wish to keep prisoners on the Central Java island for as little time as possible before their execution and are required to give a minimum 72 hours notice.
But with the Bali Nine pair in place on the island, Jakarta shifted gear on Friday and said it would respect prisoners' ongoing legal processes.
Attorney General HM Prasetyo told reporters in Jogjakarta on Monday it wasn't accurate to say the executions were delayed.
"I ensure you there's no delay. I never said the date of execution," he said, as quoted by Indonesian website kompas.com.
But he confirmed his spokesman's comment from Friday that legal appeals were what was stopping him announcing a date.
"Right now, we have to fulfil their legal rights even though they have already requested clemency," he said of the prisoners.
Mr Prasetyo said he still intended to execute the prisoners simultaneously, as it may create a "psychological burden" if they went to the firing squad separately.
Chan and Sukumaran have an appeal in court on Thursday, and a French prisoner has one on Wednesday.
But the case officials refer to is that of Filipino drug smuggler Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, the only one of the 10 convicts slated for the firing squad who is not yet on Nusakambangan.
The Supreme Court is considering her application for a second judicial review, and Co-ordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security Tedjo Edhie Purdjiant on Monday said the decision would be sped up.
"We'll wait. Maybe this week we will get a decision," he told reporters, as quoted by Indonesian website okezone.
Chan, 31, and Sukumaran, 33, were on Monday buoyed by their first visit from their families since moving into Nusakambangan.
The Sydney families will return on Wednesday, during visiting hours, but the men can receive consular and lawyers' visits on other days.
