From five sets of VLBI observations spaced between 1972 and 1981, we estimated the positions of components of the superluminal quasar 3C 345 relative to the position of the single component of the quasar NRAO 512. The relative proper motion of the easternmost component of 3C 345, believed to be the “core”, was found to be 0.02±0.02 mas/yr. This result is consistent with the “core” being stationary and the “jet” components moving with respect to NRAO 512.
