I believe so too. Although I also observe a lot of tension occasionally in countries like:
- Spain and separatist moves in Catalonia and Basque countries.
- Belgium... it's just a facade of a single country with a lot of internal issues to keep its integrity aligned
- Balkan countries which are still fresh after Post-Yugoslavia conflicts
- Cyprus (Greek Cypriot vs. Turkish Cypriot vs. UK control over the island)
Less drastic and less probable but even in Germany there are traditional voices the Bavaria is not Germany and doesn't need Germany as a whole to prosper... but mostly this is just some German-specific bollocks of their own romantic people.
Truth is that after last two Great Wars in XX century every country in Europe has lost either land or influence or both. Everybody is a loser and I think also every country realized that not the open conflict but trade and alliances is much better way to rebuilt the perspective and then compete globally. I hope that can be kept this way, regardless if EU in current form survives or not.
