VIENNA, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Austria's Raiffeisen Bank International RBIV.VI has yet to find a buyer for its Russian business that would be acceptable to all parties, but is continuing to work through its list of interested candidates, its chief executive said on Wednesday.

"We have not yet succeeded in finding a buyer accepted by all sides," CEO Johann Strobl told an economic reporters' club. "If we had reached the end of the list (of potential buyers), we would say so. We still have (potential) buyers on the list... We are not giving up."
