political patronage


Explanation:
it's surely not a translation for "uhljeb", but it could be used in this ST:

prednost treba imati struka, a ne uhljebi.
=
priority has to given to professional competence, not to political patronage


"uhljeb" needs political patronage like a fish needs water, it's a defining characteristic and it could be used as a roundabout translation.

possibly:

priority has to given to professional competence, not to political patronage (not employing "uhljeb")
