Mediobanca CEO hopes for accord on Vivendi-Mediaset dispute

MILAN (Reuters) - Mediobanca Chief Executive Alberto Nagel said on Saturday he hoped Italian broadcaster Mediaset (MS.MI) and French media group Vivendi (VIV.PA) will find a satisfactory solution to resolve their pay-TV dispute.

Speaking at the Italian investment bank's shareholder meeting, Nagel added he was close to both parties.

French business tycoon Vincent Bollore, who serves as Vivendi chairman, is a key shareholder in Mediobanca, along with Fininvest, the holding company of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, which is the biggest shareholder in Mediaset.

Nagel also said there were no grounds to criticise Vivendi's stake-building at Telecom Italia (TLIT.MI), saying "there's never been a queue" to invest in the Italian phone group.
