We use the baseline variation rates, which are obtained by the VLBI measuring in the past years (1979. /-1991.1), to estimate the relative motions among Eurasian, Pacific and North American plates. A comparion with the geological-based models has been made. In order to strengthen the VLBI constraints on the Euler vectors, we estimate the velocities of unstable stations in addition to the Euler vectors.
