日前，克罗地亚的一家报纸报道说，为偿还金额为3.5万欧元的贷款，该国一名男子已经表示要出售自己的肾脏和角膜。

    据路透社11月25日援引克罗地亚当地报道说，现年40岁的内纳德·武尔巴尼奇在接受当地《Vjesnik日报》的采访时表示：“我知道出售身体器官是一种违法行为，而且我也知道失去一个角膜会使自己的一只眼睛什么都看不见，但我还是下定决心要这么做。我现在找不到解决问题的其它办法。通过出售这些器官，我自己以及其他人的生存状况都会得到改善。”据悉，武尔巴尼奇已经将他位于克罗地亚首都萨格勒布郊区的住房及汽车卖掉，和自己的母亲住在该国北部的某个小村庄里。

    在最近数年里，克罗地亚人一直热衷于通过借贷来完成各种消费行为。最近，有观察家指出，宣告个人财务破产的克罗地亚人数正呈日益增加之势。

    A Croatian man has offered to sell his kidney and cornea in an attempt to pay back loans worth 35,000 euros, a local newspaper reported Thursday.

    "I know that selling organs is illegal, and I know that by losing a cornea I will go blind in one eye, but I am ready for it," 40-year-old Nenad Vrbanic told daily newspaper Vjesnik.

    "I see no other way out. By selling these organs I will help myself and someone else," said Vrbanic, who has sold his car and house in a Zagreb suburb. He now lives with his mother in a rural area in the north.

    Croatia has had a steady credit boom for private consumers in the last few years and observers have recently pointed to a growing number of citizens who declare insolvency.
