He played a significant role in the struggle for Macedonian liberation during the early 20th century, advocating for the rights and identity of the Macedonian people. His philosophy was marked by a pragmatic approach to political negotiations, famously stating that accepting partial gains while remaining a creditor for the larger debt was a viable strategy.
