In 1992, Tabaković joined the Serbian Radical Party and represented the party in the Parliament as a member. After the 1997 elections, the radicals joined a new Serbian government in 1998, with the Socialist Party of Serbia and JUL. That same year, she became Minister of Ownership and Economic Transformation.[3]

In May 2008, in early parliamentary elections, Tabaković was re-elected as a member of Parliament. In September 2008, after the split of the party, she joined the Serbian Progressive Party led by Tomislav Nikolić, and became a member of the parliamentary group "Let's Get Serbia Moving."[citation needed]

Following the resignation of previous Governor Šoškić over a disagreement with adopted amendments to the National Bank of Serbia Law, President of Serbia Tomislav Nikolić proposed and nominated Tabaković to the post,[4] and she was elected as the Governor of the National Bank of Serbia on 6 August 2012.[5]
