5. Conclusion

We have presented 5 GHz VLBI images of ten extremely high redshift () quasars including the most distant radio loud quasar known to date (1428+423, ). Most of the sources are well resolved and their morphology is asymmetric. Based on fitted Gaussian source model components, we have determined the jet to core flux density ratios. The values obtained are typical of high redshift radio quasars for sources in the redshift range . However, the most distant radio loud quasar, 1428+423, appears to be unusually compact.
