Work

As Zagreb is OURS! platform established itself as the political party it won almost 8% of votes in May 2017 for Zagreb Assembly as well as gained international support,[2] Tomašević joined the city council with 3 other green-left coalition councilors[3] and today represents the most dynamic opposition to Milan Bandić's decade-long rule, being the most vocal critic and contender for his position in 2021 elections. Tomašević blames opportunism of Bandić – an ex-social democrat (now with his own party),[4] as Bandić is "supported by the extreme right – for the corruption, the misuse of public spaces, and the lack of attention to ecology."[5]

Tomašević worked professionally in the Institute for Political Ecology in Zagreb, Croatia. He received several awards and scholarships, including the Marshal Memorial Fellowship, Chevening Fellowship and Cambridge Overseas Trust Fellowship. He is researching on the commons, democratisation of railway services, and models of participative governance of services like water and waste management.[6]
