        A bit nitpicky, but that would more correctly be referred to as the EC president. There’s also the CEU president (Council of EU) which is more akin to a president of EU (which is also technically wrong).

        My point is, the structure of the EU is more complicated than republics and there is no real “president” of the EU, which makes that term quite vague and potentially misleading.

          It’s a vague recollection of something that happened almost 10 years ago. These are passing comments, not facts in a scientific article. If the comment is sufficiently accurate that it can be used to find back the event that I’m referring to, then it’s good enough imo. I believe in cutting people some slack, myself included.
