I was thinking if can learn a sign language, preferably the one not completely localized, but what I got is a total confusion. There are different SLs for China, India, US, Russia and other countries, all seem incompatible between each other. Is there one to pick if I want to be compatible with EU people, but also as much others as possible?

There is no one sign language in the EU. Basically every country has it's own, and the relations between the different sign languages are completely different from those of spoken languages. If you haven't learned any yet I'd suggest learn the local sign language used in your country and beware that there are also dialects, so you might have some problems communicating with people from other parts of your country. If you want to learn some sign language used in the EU pick a country.
