Biography
Biography
Today, he teaches as a professor of urban planning at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje. Mayor of central Skopje municipality "Centar" in 1996-2000 from Social Democratic Union of Macedonia. He is one of the most ardent critics of the identity policy of "antiquization" and of the associated urban plan Skopje 2014, carried out by the Macedonian governments after 2006. In a project called 'Museum of Yugoslavia', Grčev openly claimed that the Macedonian state was invented within Yugoslavia at the end of the Second World War and there the Macedonian nation, Macedonian culture, Macedonian language and all Macedonian symbols were emancipated. At 26 December 2014, he promoted his collection of articles, published between 2006 and 2014, under the title „Името на злото“ ("The Name of the Evil").
