• July 22, 2013: The European Union listed the Hezbollah Military Wing as a terrorist organization. 
• November 30, 2020: Slovenia outlawed Hezbollah in its entirety.  

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.

Hezbollah outlawed Hezbollah in its entirety on November 30, 2020.  Ljubljana declared Hezbollah a “criminal and terrorist organization that represents a threat to peace and security,” Slovenia’s government news agency STA reported. “The work of Hezbollah is intertwined with organized crime and terrorist or paramilitary activity at the global level.”  Slovenia made the decision to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization after its working group on such restrictions submitted a report on the Lebanese Shia group’s activities.
