EuroMaidan rallies in Ukraine (December 08, 2013)

For nearly a 3 weeks, a pall of sweet-smelling wood smoke has hung over Independence Square in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. The reason of the riots is suspension of the European Union Association Agreement by the government.

Last weekend, the square played host to the worst violence in the country for almost a decade.

Tens of thousands of pro-European protesters defied a ban on demonstrations in the centre of Kiev and took control of Independence Square, stormed City Hall and demanded a “revolution” against President Viktor Yanukovych.

The authorities have been forced to cede control of not only the square, but the streets that surround it – and the demonstrators are not planning on leaving any time soon.

In fact they are busy preparing for their biggest protest to date; with up to 300,000 people expected to turn out on Sunday for the for the largest demonstration in Ukraine.

You’re not welcome, Mr President

Viktor Yanukovych, you have no purpose to be in Malta. You left behind a country in turmoil. Only last week, 350,000 people took to the streets of Kiev, the capital’s biggest protest since the Orange Revolution nine years ago, protesting your decision to freeze signing a cooperation agre-ement with the European Union.

Your people took to the streets pursuing a dream – Europe, you replied back with batons and tear gas – shame on you, Mr President.

You walked away from a pact offered by the EU, swinging trade policy back towards Russia.

You have succumbed to pressure from Moscow, and back-pedalled from signing the deal on closer relations with the EU in favour of renewed economic dialogue with Moscow.

Describing your decision as “a strategic pause in moves closer to Europe” is an insult, to say the least. Hand on heart, Mr President, you want to remain a Moscow stooge.

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, too, did his best to keep Malta away from the EU

Of course, as European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said, “the European Union will not force Ukraine, or any other partner, to choose between the European Union or any other regional entity”.

But that doesn’t exclude the fact your position, Mr President, is untenable – you should go, now.

The Kiev demonstrations are clear evidence that the Ukrainian population, at large, has had enough of your presidency.

Your people want to escape Moscow’s orbit and join the European mainstream: that’s their dream, which you continue to forbid.

As heavyweight boxer-turned-opposition politician Vitaly Klitschko told the crowds on Independence Square: “They (your government) stole the dream”.

You promised your people that you will create a society of ‘European standard’, but your decision to back-pedal on the EU pact, and ordering the police and the army to clamp down on the demonstrations, in Kiev, are, in their very nature, the antithesis of a ‘European standard’.

Your people want Europe – they want freedom; they want opportunities; they want to join the rest of the world – but you insist on giving them more ‘Moscow’.

Your visit here is said to have been agreed upon between our Prime Minister and Barroso to ‘make it clear the EU’s door is still open’.

What Barroso and our Prime Minister should have added was that ‘the door is still open – to the people of Ukraine, but not to you,

Mr President, you’ve had your chance, and you’ve lost it – now, do the honourable thing and step down – don’t stop the Ukrainians’ dream from joining the rest of the world.

Mr President, I am not a fan of your host, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, because he, too, did his best to keep Malta away from the EU. He campaigned, vociferously, for Malta to stay out of Europe.

I come, Mr President, from a Labour Party background, but joined the Nationalist Party precisely because of the EU.

My dream, like that of thousands of young people, was for Malta to take its rightful place as an EU member state, and no one was going to hinder that dream.

I understand, perfectly well, the Ukrainian peoples’ frustration to your decision of keeping them away from Europe.

You promised them Europe – and when push came to shove you chose Russia – you dashed their dreams and you have only yourself to blame for that.

Mr President, the absolute majority of people in Malta have no time, and absolutely no sympathy, for leaders who suppress peaceful demonstrations through violent means. Thousands of people suffered at the hands of the Maltese Socialist regime – back in the 1980s, they know what it means to have your voice silenced by the State.

Mr President, the Ukrainian opposition is demanding the release of Yulia Tymoshenko who, your government, has locked up in prison for voicing her dissent against your government. How’s that for ‘European standards?’

I welcome Simon Busuttil’s decision not to attend state dinners during the president’s visit. I have no doubt Busuttil will express, vociferously, his disapproval of Yanukovych’s decision to keep the Ukraine away from the EU and, not least, his decision to suppress peaceful demonstrations in Kiev.

Mr President you have no reason to be in Malta. The will of the people will, ultimately, prevail.

Your presidency is on borrowed time. Mr President, our Prime Minister will not tell you this, but the absolute majority of the Maltese do: you are not welcome in Malta.

5 Tips For Starting Your Projects

by ProjectManager.com

Tip 1: Develop the Project Charter
The Project Charter is a document that includes high level information about the project including key milestones, an overview of the budget and of course, the aims and objectives of the project. You will be key in preparing the document, but it should be owned by the project sponsor who takes responsibility for the project overall. Oh, and if you haven't already, make the time to meet your project sponsor! Ideally you should work on the Charter together so that you have a common understanding of what is to be done.

Tip 2: Identify Stakeholders
Who is going to be involved on your project? The project initiation phase is the perfect time to identify everyone who will have an input to your project or who can influence the work. The Charter gives you a starting point as it will help you see which areas of the business are going to be affected by the new project. You can also talk to your project sponsor to make sure that you don't miss anyone out.

Tip 3: Select the Project Team
The next thing you need to do is to get some team members to work with! Think about the skills you will need in order to be able to complete the different project tasks. Most projects need a variety of different skills from subject matter experts. Then match these requirements to the skills of the available individuals and put together your team.

If you don't know how to start selecting suitable candidates you can ask other project managers or line managers for their advice about who would be able to contribute to the project.

Set up your team members. Then give them access to the right information for this project. Once that's done you can begin to allocate project tasks to them as the schedule is created.

Tip 4: Check the Business Benefits
Why is this project being done? It's important to understand the benefits and the rationale behind doing this project. Talk to your project sponsor if you aren't sure. Understanding the ‘why' will help you explain it to the other team members. You'll find that the team is more motivated if they understand why they are working on something and how it contributes to the business strategy and plans overall. If you can share a common understanding of the project's objectives this is a major step towards getting everyone on board.

Tip 5: Get started!
Now the preparation work is complete, you can get started working with your team and putting together your project schedule. Create a list of all the tasks that need to be done (with input from your team) and then add dates and milestones to form your schedule. You can then allocate tasks to the people who will be doing the work and instruct everyone to get started! Remember to set up your processes for monitoring and controlling the project work too so that you can keep on top of project status at any time.

Starting a new project can be a hectic time. However, it doesn't have to be difficult. If you are clear about the roles and responsibilities of the project manager during this time, you can start your project off perfectly.
