Abstract
This chapter investigates the relationship of GC hegemonic masculinity and post-conflict masculinity in relation to the opening of the border and the EU membership. I address post-conflict masculinity through two examples: the resistance to cross the borders and the continuous support for the existence of a potent army in the context of weakened militarism. Hegemonic masculinity is shifting away from the conscription service towards a GC transnational entrepreneurial male.
