Resum

I present recent results of a study of parsec-scale relativistic jets in 
Active Galactic Nuclei on the basis of a large VLBI monitoring program 
at 15 GHz (MOJAVE). I will discuss kinematics of compact Doppler-boosted 
jets including apparent jet acceleration measurements. Results and 
future prospects of a dedicated sub-parsec-scale study of the inner jet 
in the galaxy Virgo A will be also presented. The talk will be concluded 
by presenting the current status of the Space VLBI project Radioastron 
and new opportunities for AGN jet studies which will be opened by this 
mission.
