It is a peculiar construction because the institution which is typical for European countries is being transformed into one fitting a multi-national organization. The European countries present various types of the presidential institution. The President of the European Union is supposed to be a leader for many nations. It is not possible to base it solely on one country’s legal system, however a lot of similarities can be observed.
