Gamma-ray emission of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) is produced predominantly at sub-milliarcsecond and milliarcsecond scales, translating to physical distances of hundreds up to a bilion Schwarzchild radii from the supermassive black holes driving the AGN activity. These scales are unresolved at all wavelengths expect radio, at which modern interferometers can probe morphological properties of gamma-ray emission sites in AGN, i.e. the innermost parts of relativistic jets produced by accreting supermassive black holes. In this talk I will present a heoretical perspective on the gamma-ray/radio connection in AGN, discussing ifferent constraints on the relativistic jet and black hole physics offered
by the most recent radio and gamma-ray data.
