She is the leader and founder of centre-left party Dalija Orešković and People with a First and Last Name (DO i SIP), formed in 2023 as a continuation of Party with a First and Last Name, founded as START in 2018. Between November 2020 and November 2021 she served as co-president of Centre.

Education

Orešković studied law at the University of Zagreb and finished a post-graduate study in European Law. [1]

Conflict of Interest Commission

From 2013 to 2018 Orešković served as President of the Conflict of Interest Commission after being chosen by the parliament, beating 198 other candidates.[2] She initiated proceedings against MPs, mayors, ministers and the president. She is often credited for the fall of Tomislav Karamarko, former deputy prime minister and former president of HDZ.[3] Nataša Novaković succeeded her on the position.

Political career

In October 2018 she announced she would enter politics on the centre-left spectrum.[4] On December 29, 2018, she announced her party will be called START, standing for "Party of Anti-corruption, Development and Transparency".[5] She ran for president in 2019, obtaining 55,163 or 2.9% of the votes, coming in 6th out of 11 candidates, and being eliminated in the first round. In May 2020, the START changed its name to Party with a First and Last Name (IP), and Orešković stepped down from the position of party president. In the 2020 parliamentary election held on 5 July, she was elected for member of Croatian Parliament. In November 2020, the party merged with the Pametno to form a single party, called the Centre.[6]

Personal life

Orešković's family originates from Lika. She is a descendant of a Croatian Partisan commander and People's Hero of Yugoslavia, Marko Orešković. She was married to Frane Letica, son of Slaven Letica, and they have two daughters.
