It was also the first time that members of Generation Z are seeing what war really looks like.&nbsp;<\/em> <em>The existing literature provides extensive studies about Gen Z\u2019s perception of various issues like social and political values, workplace, and quality of life. However, very little is known about young citizens\u2019 perception of security, safety, and freedom after the war in Ukraine started. This study seeks to address this gap in the literature and analyses how Gen Z\u2019s perception of security, safety, and freedom has changed in the current security environment.<\/em> <em>The analysis is based on a single case study \u2013 in Romania, and semi-structured interviews conducted in September-October 2022 with young citizens coming from different socio-demographic profiles. The main purpose is to explain how the conflict affected the perceptions variation of the abovementioned indicators, in a post-communist state where those under 25yo did not experience a large-scale military conflict so close to our borders.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Security; feedom; safety; generation Z; perception<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Contact details of the authors:<\/strong><\/td><td>E-mail: marius.grad@ubbcluj.ro (1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; raluca.lutai@ubbcluj.ro (2)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Institutional affiliation of the authors:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong> <strong>Babe\u0219-Bolyai University<\/strong> <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Institutions address:<\/strong><\/td><td>M.
