What do you think? I always saw federalism as a good soltution to decentralize states, but now... I am not really sure ??

Politically, I also see federalism as the only way. Even the French have had to go this way when they've recognised some kind of independance to Corsica.
However, it is not sufficient. Nationalism is an emotional issue that has little to do with hoe "good" or actually "repressed" tha nation is.
Personally, I think that the thrive to independance of smaller groups is ludicrous. They will lose more (actual independance - dependance can also be of economic and political nature) than they will gain (independance on the paper).
