During a press briefing on Monday, a minister addressed journalists regarding the procedures governing military service eligibility. The minister clarified that a specialized commission is responsible for determining the capabilities of all service members without exception, noting that age is one of the factors considered in this assessment process. The minister stated that, concerning a specific matter, it had been recommended that the soldier in question meet with the deputy minister who oversees this evaluation process.
However, the minister reported that the soldier elected not to attend the scheduled meeting. These statements followed media reports indicating developments in a separate case. Specifically, the news portal “Delfi” reported that R.
Kaunas had opted not to renew the professional military service contract for a soldier who had previously testified in connection with the V. Rupšys implant case. The exchange highlighted the formal protocols surrounding military fitness assessments, emphasizing that the capabilities review is managed by the established commission.
The reports suggest a divergence between the recommended administrative procedures and the individual decisions made by the service member regarding their contractual obligations and required consultations.

I wonder what specific criteria the commission used to make that final determination.
What criteria did the commission use to determine that N. Rimkevičius was ineligible for a contract extension?
