• July 22, 2013: The European Union listed the Hezbollah Military Wing as a terrorist organization. 
• September 25, 2020: Latvia recognizes Hezbollah in its entirety as a terrorist organization.

The European Union decided to ban Hezbollah’s military wing in July of 2013 in response to concerns over the group’s military involvement in the Syrian Civil War, and its suspected responsibility for a bombing of a civilian bus in Burgas, Bulgaria in 2012. The E.U. has resisted calls to proscribe the whole of the group, presumably for the same reasons as France, which holds considerable sway in the E.U.’s decision-making on the matter.

Latvia announced that it regarded Hezbollah as a terrorist organization on September 25, 2020. This was confirmed by the Director-General of the Bilateral Relations Directorate of the Foreign Ministry of Latvia, Ambassador Ilgvars Kļava, with the U.S. State Department’s Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Ambassador Nathan A. Sales. A little over a month later, on November 30, 2020, Latvia officially designated Hezbollah as a terrorist group.
