The globular cluster M15 hosts two low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) and at least eight millisecond pulsars (MSP) detected via pulsed radio searches. Using multi-epoch 1.6 GHz VLBI observations at high spectral resolution, we detect the already known MSPs and perform a model independent proper motion analysis. Furthermore, we search for new radio sources being potential candidates for new LMXBs or MSPs in the vicinity of the core of M15. Combining the proper motion results of all sources under consideration we will be able to further constrain the central mass distribution in the cluster and, in case of high proper motions near the core, find further evidence for the central object being an intermediate mass black hole. I will present preliminary results from the first four of a total of six observation epochs.
