In this paper we have presented the results of 21 extragalactic
radio sources of VLBI observation at 5 GHz.
The VLBI images of eleven sources and the correlated flux
density information of the remaining 10 sources are given.
The superluminal nature of four sources (DA193, 0420-014, 1334-127 and
2345-16) is confirmed and their
physical parameters (,
and
) are derived. Lorentz
factors in the range
are found, in agreement
with their blazar nature.
Two new superluminal candidates 1504-166 and 2243-123 are found,
and finally three sources (1532+016, 2320-035, 2351-154) are
imaged for the first epoch at VLBI resolution.
