MOSCOW Aug 30 (Reuters) - The shareholders of Norilsk Nickel (GMKN.MM: Quote) must resolve their dispute and ensure continued functioning of the company to avoid government involvement, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday.

"I do not care which of the shareholders has a controlling stake or in what proportion. The main thing is that they solve the problems of the company," Putin was quoted as saying by RIA news agency.

"If someone does not decide, if someone falls out of this general order, then we will do something."

Putin added that the shareholders "already know (his position) and are preparing". (Writing by Toni Vorobyova, Editing by John Bowker)
