After very little playing time during the first half of the 2011–12 season, Tomašević was loaned to C.F. União in the second level, until June, reuniting with former Nacional coach Predrag Jokanović.
In summer 2012 he was released by Nacional, and at 14 September he was announced as a new reinforcement of FK Partizan. This will be his return to Serbia with Partizan, as he already spent some time as a youngster in the youth team of the club.
On 3 August 2019, FC Astana announced the signing of Tomašević on a free transfer.

In late August 2009, Tomašević was first called to the Montenegro under-21 squad, for a 2011 European Championship qualifier against Sweden, in which his country lost 2–0 at home.
In 2010, aged 20, he made his full international debut.
In 2014, he scored his first international goal for Montenegro against Moldova in a 2016 European Championship qualification match.
