Macedonia crisis
I cannot figure out what is being said here:
Conflictele interetnice și naționalismul au mers cap la cap după destrămarea fostei Iugoslavii în toate țările ce s-au deșirat din acest ghem.
I have started:
Inter-ethnic conflicts and nationalism came to a head after the falling apart of the former Yugoslavia in all the countries that have ???????.

that have unravelled from this ball of yarn
I think the metaphor is worth keeping.
Note from asker:
Thank you but what is the subject of "that have unravelled"? It sounds very clumsy in English to say "all the countries that have unravelled.." is this what it means? If it does, than the metaphor will have to be changed, or the phrase altered; metaphor or not, it sounds really odd. |

Look for "mozaic etnic" - multiculturalism, ethnic mosaic

I would use "came head-to-head"
Exemplu: Given its long history, Catalan ethnoregionalism has gone through various phas-
es (Payne 1991: 479 ff., Llobera 2004). The current one however apparently
confirms Rolf Lindner’s thesis. In fact, we might call it a politically moderate
regionalism that avoids head-to-head conflict and seeks answers to its requests
through apt compromises and accommodations; even in recent times, it was able
to take over further areas of sovereignty that traditionally belonged to the na-
tion-state. This lack of aggressiveness has been patent, despite recent frictions
and strong tensions with Madrid in relation to Catalonia’s request to achieve a
new state of autonomy and recognition as a nation without a state of its own
within Spain (McRoberts 2001). Due to the above-mentioned characteristics,
Catalan ethnoregionalism is also frequently defined as a very specific form of
nationalism.

O simpla traducere pe înțelesul tuturor ar fi cam asa:
The interethnic conflicts and nationalism went together after the desintegration of the former Yugoslavia in all the countries that have deserted from this group.

Discussion
For the record "cap la cap" I shall now be translating as "hand in hand"
gets across the idea of "unraveling" and uses a common metaphor.
Very often keeping metaphors exactly the same does not work with the English flow, no matter how accurate the grammar is. (just for information).
