Relative K-polystability of projective bundles over a curve

Let $P(E)$ be the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact complex curve $C$. We characterize the existence of an extremal K\"ahler metric on the ruled manifold $P(E)$ in terms of relative K-polystability and the fact that $E$ decomposes as a direct sum of stable bundles.
