Tatjana Macura (Serbian Cyrillic: Татјана Мацура; born 1981) is a Serbian politician. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2016, initially as a member of the anti-establishment and reformist It's Enough – Restart association, better known in English by the name "Enough Is Enough." On April 12, 2018, Macura announced her resignation from the association.[1]

Early life and career

Macura was born and raised in Zemun, Belgrade, then a part of the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. She is a professional economist and entrepreneur, with experience in the telecommunications sector.[2][3]

Parliamentarian

Macura received the sixth position on the It's enough – Restart electoral list in the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election.[4] The list did not cross the electoral threshold to win representation in the assembly.

She received the sixteenth position on the association's list for the 2016 election and was this time elected when the list won sixteen mandates.[5] She is an opposition deputy in the assembly and a member of the committee on human and minority rights and gender equality, the culture and information committee, and the committee on the rights of the child; a deputy member of the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and policy reduction; and a member of Serbia's parliamentary friendship groups with Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, and Montenegro.[6]

Macura announced on April 2, 2018, that she would run for the presidency of the It's Enough – Restart association, on a platform opposing many the party leadership's recent decisions.[7] On April 12, however, she both ended her leadership bid and announced her resignation from the association.[8] One week later, she joined with four other former It's Enough – Restart delegates to announce the formation of the Free MPs parliamentary group, with herself as the group's leader.[9][10]
