MOSCOW, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday he met with shareholders in the country's biggest technology company, Yandex, the RIA news agency said, just days after the company approved changes to its corporate governance structure.

"I just recently met with Yandex managers and major shareholders," RIA quoted Putin as saying. "It was literally two days ago."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had said on Nov. 18 that the plan had not been agreed with the Kremlin beforehand.
