He has been a member of the Serbian national team at the 2010 FIBA World Championship where Serbia was defeated by Lithuania in the game for the bronze medal. He was capped once more for the national team of Serbia at the EuroBasket 2011 in Lithuania where Serbia finished 8th.
Marković represented the national basketball at the EuroBasket 2013. He was also a member of the Serbian national basketball team that won the silver medal at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup under new head coach Aleksandar Đorđević.
He also represented Serbia at the EuroBasket 2015. In the first phase of the tournament, Serbia dominated in the toughest Group B with 5-0 record, and then eliminated Finland and Czech Republic in the round of 16 and quarterfinal game, respectively. However, they were stopped in the semifinal game by Lithuania with 67–64, and eventually lost to the host team France in the bronze-medal game with 81–68. Over 9 tournament games, Marković averaged 5.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game on 39.1% shooting from the field.
After winning silver medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Marković announced his retirement from the national team. A fan favorite, he was considered by both fans and teammates as one of the carriers in the Serbian team, because of his defensive IQ and his veteran leadership. Miloš Teodosić, who played alongside Marković since their junior careers, has said that "the team will lose a lot with him gone. He was the soul of the team! I hope there is still a chance for him to reconsider his retirement." Marković ended his national team career with an excellent all around performance on the Olympics, also being a key player in a tight quarter-finals win against Croatia.
