Abstract
We analyse VLBI data of a sample of radio quasars in order to study the milliarcsecond scale structural properties of quasars in the widest available redshift range of 0.2 < z < 4.5. The statistical study is based on a combination of the 5 GHz Caltech-Jodrell VLBI survey and our data for a set of extremely high redshift sources. We show that the apparently less prominent milliarcsecond scale structures found in z > 3 quasars do not contradict the assumption of intrinsic similarity of radio sources at different redshifts and may be explained by a difference in spectral properties of cores and extended components (jets).
