Belgian huh? Well, the rest of the EU should see an increase in waffle quality at the very least. What else is Belgium known for?

Chocolate.

So how does this sort of election work? People in each country pick the leader of their country, and those leaders pick the President?

Each country picks EU representatives for their country. Those EU representatives choose a government official to become President of the European Council. Not the President of Europe.
