According to my map file, I would use

DATA "Geometrija FROM Objekti_Uprave"

(without single quotes, double quotes around the whole expression). Perhaps this will work for you also... 

Probably postgres will have trouble with the underscore (_). In this case, try to rename the table...

good luck,
Sebastian
