Well, about half the staff is Serbian and half Russian. I don't think there is any major concern about Serbia, itself, I just think that they don't see Serbians as their target consumers. However, many Serbians benefit from the influx of visitors because the patients frequent various services, pharmacies, local businesses, hotels, B&Bs and holiday apartments, etc.
Yes, it's beneficial to everybody, in one way or another. Except for the Big Pharma, which could be the real reason why they don't want to be too much known in the world and had not been honest about their work when asked about by these local journalists. Especially now, when their clinic in Switzerland is closed.
Well, they very much want me to write about my experiences and publish and promote their work... And they DO use some pharmaceuticals when called for, though sparingly.
Since Laura was in fact asked to share her experiences publicly, the clinic and the doctors want the results of their work to be known. She was asked to share her experience before any benefits could be noticed so it looks like they are have quite a lot of confidence in the results. My personal take on this is that they know the establishment will want to go after them and discredit their work so they ask patients to promote the results to counteract the smear campaign against them.
If the clinic is hiding anything, it's probably due to the legal status of the therapy or the clinic. And given the disbenefits of the treatment to big pharma I wouldn't be surprised if their status was purposely made difficult.

Well, they do seem to be afraid of something. German members might want to confirm this, but take a look at this Google translated article from last year:
"Swissmedica XXI Century SA and the St. Georg Clinic neither have Swissmedic approvals for handling graft products," says the Swiss Swissmedic Institute Swissmedic at the request of the "SonntagsZeitung".
As regards the authorities, the company states that the said therapy is only applied abroad. However, at the request of the newspaper, a member of Swiss Medica explained that the treatment could also be carried out in Goldach. Cost point: 60,000 francs.

Here they are also saying that they are not doing any treatments in Switzerland, only abroad. But then they do admit that they were doing it in Switzerland.
There is also this article from one week later:

Space in St.Galler private clinic sealed
This week, the curative authority has sealed a room in the St.Galler Private Clinic. Reason is the suspicion of propaganda for unauthorized stem cell therapies.
According to a report from the "Sonntagszeitung", the St.Galler Privatklinik and the Swiss Medica company received a surprise visit from Swissmedic and the St.Gallen cantonal doctor last Thursday. These required documents between the two partners and sealed a room of the Clinic in Goldach rented by Swiss Medica.
The company Swissmedia propagates stem cell therapies, which are not permitted in Switzerland. The company claims they treat patients with this therapy only abroad. In the private clinic, they used a room with infrastructure. The doctor of St.Georg is also to be a contract physician of Swiss Medica.
According to the report of the "Sonntagszeitung", one week ago on the website of Swiss Medica it was read that the company would treat patients in private hospitals in Moscow, Belgrade and Goldach. This information has now been deleted. Neither the clinic of St.Georg nor Swiss Medica has authorizations from Swissmedic for the treatment of transplant products. However, the potential for such treatments is large.
The director of the St.Georg Clinic, Kurt Kaufmann, now seems to have gone astray: "It is not possible that Swiss Medica propagates abroad, it offers stem cell therapies in our clinic. They told us they would give us patients for check-ups". The contracts were terminated immediately.

Persej,
I think the question is
should we trust the "experts", press or governments to tell us what is to be the approved health choices for us?
The first article (from translation) states: "This method is not approved in Switzerland."
Should we really think the government of Switzerland has the best interests of the public in mind?
The need to seek out treatment that actually works has become increasingly difficult. It reminds me of all the alternative health physicians who have turned up dead from mysterious causes. (...)
I agree with goyacobol's pints. Just to add to the research and articles he provided I'd like to point out that it is experts who tell us that chemotherapy is the best cure for cancer. That fluoride is good for our teeth. That sunflower oil is better than animal based fat and fat itself should be avoided as it makes us, well, fat. Heck, there are tons of articles, research even, that "prove" this.
I think it's fairly safe to conclude that the medical establishment and the so-called experts do not always have the benefits for our health and wellbeing at heart.
