The private review Adresa [Address], with Tucić as its founder and publisher, was one of the most significant neo-avant-garde periodicals in the former Yugoslavia; he also worked as editor in the reviews Polja [Fields] (Novi Sad), Ulaznica [Entrance Ticket] (Zrenjanin), Dalje [Further] (Sarajevo) i Tisa (name of the river, Bečej).
