According to the ESPIG, the top priority for economic policy is to "bring about a substantial process of convergence towards European living standards within the next generation." In a policy paper released in August, the group called for "the systematic transformation of Kosovo's manufacturing and agricultural sectors and the shift from a society in which a large part of the population relies on remittances and subsistence agriculture towards one in which an educated workforce produces competitive products and services that can be sold on European markets".
Според ГЕСП, главен приоритет за економската политика е „да се предизвика суштински процес на приближување кон европските стандарди на живеење кај следната генерација“.
