We present a high resolution radio image of SDSS 0836+0054 identified recently as the most distant radio-detected quasar at a redshift of z=5.82. The observation was carried out with ten antennas of the European VLBI Network, spread from Europe to China and South Africa, at 1.6 GHz frequency on 2002 June 8. The source is detected with a total flux density of 1.1 mJy, equal to its flux density measured in the VLA FIRST survey. We found no indication of multiple images produced by gravitational lensing. The radio structure of the quasar at ~10-mas angular resolution appears somewhat resolved. It resembles the radio structure typical for lower redshift radio-loud active galactic nuclei. We obtained so far the best astrometric position of the source with an accuracy better than 8 mas, limited mainly by the structural effects in the phase-reference calibrator source.
