I don't think you can make a general rule for Europe at large. Germany is definitely very strict about this, most people won't cross if the pedestrian light isn't green even if there's no car in sight. Meanwhile in my experience German drivers always stop to let you pass when you have right of way.
On the other hand if you go to France everybody crosses everywhere all the time and most drivers won't stop to let you cross on a walkway unless you're already on the middle of the road. I don't know if jaywalking is an offense over here but if it is I have never ever seen it enforced. You could jaywalk right next to a cop and nobody will care.
