If you don't mind going out on a limb, you might consider the phrase "intercessory obsequiousness" for "mešetarska snishodljivost".

There is no much need for more details it's a more or less standard term of contempt for "politikanti" (NOT "političari").

Also, the whole of "ekspert u mešetarskoj snishodljivosti" or at least "mešetarska snishodljivost" should be translated together as a whole.

BTW "mešetar" in its neutral meaning is simply a middleman / an intermediary.

Used pejoratively, it's a dodgy middlemen - one who couldn't care less about the interests of any of the parties at both ends of the deal.

A bit like your run-of-the-mill translation agency (couldn't resist to add that one).

Given previous questions from the same text, this would be about a dodgy go-between involved in negotiating political alliances.

Interesting one, I wonder is there is any more context? It is hard to see the connection here between "mešetarenje" (probably means "scheming" or "plotting" here) and "snishodljivost".
