Marović is a member of the pro-European and green political party United Reform Action (URA). She was a member of the Balkans in Europe Policy Advisory Group (BiEPAG) from 2015 to 2021 and worked in the Montenegrin Accession Negotiations for European Union (EU) membership.
Marović became Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) for Foreign Policy, European Integration and Regional Cooperation and Minister of European Affairs of the Government of Montenegro in April 2022. While Minister, in May 2022 she spoke at the "Re-thinking the Western Balkans EU Integration in the New Geopolitical Context" event in the French Senate, Paris, France, about opening accession negotiations with Albania and North Macedonia and ongoing reforms in Montenegro for European integration and encouraging the rule of law. She met with Ambassadors from countries such as Austria, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Turkey and Hungary, as well as visiting Brussels with Prime Minister of Montenegro, Dritan Abazović, to meet with EU officials. She visited Kosovo in October 2022.
Marović resigned from all government positions in November 2022, due to Prime Minister Abazović's refusal to consider the risks of the Open Balkan initiative and other policy disagreements. She continues to advocate for signing an accession treaty to join the EU.
In August 2023, while travelling to a conference in Požega, Marović was denied entry to Serbia at the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade "for the sake of protection of the security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens." She was also banned from entering Serbia until further notice and her passport was taken from her (it was later returned). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro requested an explanation from the Serbian government for her deportation and statements were released by the Eurorpean Fund for the Balkans and the Regional Academy for Democratic Development. Serbian Member of Parliament for the Serbian Progressive Party, Vladimir Djukanovic, defended the ban and said that German politician Viola von Cramon should also be banned from entering Serbia.
