European Union has reservations about Pakistan's stability.

We are in a transition towards democracy. Europeans too had had their share of similar uncertainties and lack of leadership in their countries. Pakistan has yet to become an industrialized democratic country. As such it is just ad hoc-ism working in our relationships with the European Union. The trouble is that the President has no lawful role in the government with his "uniform" on. But he is envisaging staying on for another and still another term. These facts are too well known in the European Union. On the other side, the question looms large as to what next in Pakistan?
