DALLAS (CNN) -- For Kosovo natives living in the United States, it has become increasingly difficult to get news about family and friends back home in the besieged Serbian province.
Phone service to Kosovo is sporadic. Western journalists are no longer able to report from the war-torn territory.
That leaves expatriates like Uranik Begu, a college student in Dallas, scurrying to find ways to maintain contact with Kosovo.
Begu spends hours at his computer, listening to news broadcasts about the fighting in Kosovo, scanning the messages in an Albanian chatroom, searching the Internet for anyone who may have news of the fate of his family and friends as violence engulfs the province.
