You have very nice suits today. I don't know what you were waiting for, the 20th day, to get dressed up like this?
During a subsequent broadcast, Miletić, alongside co-host Marko Šapit, referenced Ivković's remarks. She turned the compliment back on the commentators, noting their "very nice suits" and humorously asking why they had "waited until the 20th day" to dress so sharply.
I will notice, although it's becoming dangerous, that you have a very beautiful dress. So we don't have a problem with sharing compliments?
Šapit joined in the lighthearted exchange, observing that Miletić's dress was "very beautiful" and questioning if there were any issues with sharing compliments. Miletić responded that she did not know any woman who would be offended by a compliment, indicating she was not among them.
The exchange highlights a moment of lighthearted banter between the broadcast team, occurring amidst coverage of the football tournament. The interaction suggests a comfortable and collegial atmosphere among the presenters and commentators.
Honestly, I don't know any woman who would get offended by some compliment, so here I am, I'm not one of them.
