According to Sky News, Kretinsky met with Reynolds for the first time since Labour won this month's general election, with one source stating that the meeting was both "cordial and constructive".
Reynolds also said last week that it was "reasonable" to expect Kretinsky's £3.6bn takeover bid would be scrutinised further by Westminster.
