We present the results of European VLBI Network observations of 3 Broad Absorption Line quasars at 1.6 GHz. They are all compact with linear sizes less than 1 kpc. The flat spectral source, J1556+3517, is unresolved at about 20 mas resolution, indicating that the orientation of the radio jet in this source is probably near the line of sight. J1312+2319 shows asymmetric two-sided structure on a scale of several hundred pc. This structure resembles that of Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO), however it has a bright central component at the present resolution. The jet orientation of J1312+2319 may be far from the line of sight. J0957+2356 is also unresolved, but with a steep spectrum, therefore the jet orientation in this source is unclear. These results are not consistent with the unification of BAL and non-BAL quasars by orientation.
