"calls for" or "will call for", as appropriate, of course.
I'm suggesting "calls for" because it's often a good option, sometimes better than "requires" - though really I'd need to see what goes before, to be sure about that.

: yes, this puts the emphasis on the `right side', I suppose; `...but expendtiure nonetheless' may be the key here

This requires some expenditure but not much
"This requires some expenditure, albeit small", would be the closest, but though it is correct, the word "albeit" is rare and old-fashioned, and I would prefer to avoid it.

Kirill Semenov
: do you think "however small" may fit here? + I mean the emphasis here is not that the costs are expected to be small, but that however small they may be they are still `more costs'

Я имею в виду, что:
"Потребует затрат, пусть и небольших" и "Потребует пусть и небольших, но затрат" - imho, очень разное смысловое ударение. В первом случае отношение к необходимости затрат скорее одобрительное, во втором - скорее с сомнением.
