Claim 2: “The United States gave only ten days to complete negotiations on the purchase of a controlling stake in the Serbian oil and gas company NIS by the Hungarian holding MOL from Russia’s Gazprom Neft”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result explicitly states that the US gave ten days to complete negotiations. While other search results mention that the US extended deadlines or provided waivers for MOL to talk to Gazprom Neft regarding NIS, they do not specifically confirm the 'ten day' figure as a general fact reported by multiple independent news organizations. The evidence is limited to a single reporting source for the specific timeframe.
