When taking about risks we have to accept that we are not dealing with reality! Therefore we enter into the field of prediction in which the approach is to estimate the level of risk on the bases of precise knowledge on “how the world is functioning”. A plan of risk management is useful and mostly required for the success of the project implementation. Key words: risk management, plan, project control and monitoring. JEL code:
