The next day, RTVS itself responded to the incident portal omediach.com provided a statement claiming that the question should have been raised for another part of the entertainment show Citronáda.
It is moderated by former hockey player, world champion from 2002 Richard Lintner.
“RTVS is humanly sorry. We have been in contact with the media manager of the German national hockey team since Wednesday night.
We are trying to arrange a reunion of Barbora Žiačiková and Jessica Campbell so that they can communicate the whole situation and so that Ms. Žiačiková can personally apologize for the misunderstanding, “writes the management of RTVS.

The same portal also asked Žiačková for a statement. She answered through her employer.
“Personally, I am sincerely very sorry about the whole situation. I am deeply sorry for Jessica Campbell and I believe that I will have the opportunity to apologize to her personally in the near future.
I try to do my job, which I love, as best I can. I realize that in this context it was a mistake that I regret. “
