No agreement on RAI - Tajani

(ANSA) - Rome, September 17 - European Parliament President Antonio Tajani on Monday denied reports that Forza Italia (FI) leader Silvio Berlusconi agreed to drop opposition to the government's nominee to be the new president of RAI, Marcello Foa, during talks with Interior Minister, Deputy Premier and League leader Matteo Salvini on Sunday.
    "RAI was not discussed," Tajani, who is also FI vice president and was present at the meeting, told RTL 102.5.
    "There was no agreement in names.
    "We are interest in the method. If the centre right still exists, a different method is needed".
    The League and FI were allied for March's general election but Salvini's party ended up forming a government with the 5-Star Movement (M5S) to end a long post-election deadlock after the anti-establishment group refused to open talks with the centre-right coalition as a whole. But FI and the League govern several regions together and their alliance has not been broken off.
