In short: the EU citizens vote for Member of the European Parliament who represents own country and the Europarties. Citizens have no direct control over: the European Council, the president of the council, the European Commission and the president of the comission. You might get the feeling that as EU citizens we have little control over what runs over our heads on EU levels and because of this, a criticism might be observed over how truly democratic the EU is and if some bodies of the EU represent their citizens or particular goals of the Comission and their members.
