Don't count your chickens.
A Russian author predicted the break up of the States, can't remember his name. Probably happen in the next decade of so.
Look at what happened to the USSR, which was the first amalgamation of countries, eventually collapsed. Now the EU, also won't last.
The USSR is a terrible example to use. This type of thing happens naturally, when its forced (like it was with the USSR), it is going to fail (well a lot of the time, this is a generalization not a rule). The EU will out last you and I. Its not going anywhere. You should read up on the early days of the American government. They had 100000000000x worse and they still managed to pull it together. One thing I have picked up is markets and media are hysterical. Both over react and hyperventilate if a grasshopper farts somewhere.
If you dont allow yourself to be pulled into the whimsical short term hysterics of the market media you can see the bigger picture more clearly.
I predict, in the next 15 years, Russia will become a member of the EU.
