> There are many countries in Europe with a president and a prime minister
In most of those countries, the role of the president is mostly ceremonial and/or has to do with foreign policy outside of EU.

- sampo 2mo agoYou are correct that Czechia, Cyprus and Romania (and France, and Lithuania) send their president to the European Council. But Poland and Portugal, and all other countries, send their prime minister. 22 countries: Prime minister 5 countries: President https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Council#Members https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Council#Members
