The Uzbek refugees were transferred to Romania by the UN's refugee agency, the UNHCR, after they fled violence in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijon in May 2005.
IOM Romanian mission head Cristina Gheorghe-Tranca says all but two of the refugees are now living in various countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Finland, the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden.
Gheorghe-Tranca says the remaining two refugees will also be resettled but are staying in Romania until health problems improve.
At least 12 of the refugees sent to the United States returned to Uzbekistan earlier this month. The Uzbek government says they did so voluntarily.
