You can and you do - see for example the Visegrad group: https://www.dw.com/en/this-is-how-the-visegrad-group-works/a-47402724 https://www.dw.com/en/this-is-how-the-visegrad-group-works/a...
Or in fact the EU itself - an association of distinct national identities. But in a sort of reverse no true Scotsman fallacy, it is popular to ascribe outwardly hostile intentions to nationalism. If a country maintains its borders and national identity, but also peacefully coexists with its neighbors (as much of Europe and indeed the world does), then it's not "true" nationalism.
