    The paper deals with Ginzburg-Landau model of phase transitions. Further properties of phase transitions that are similar to the properties of sets with minimal perimeter are established. Some analogies between the theory of phase transitions and the theory of minimal surfaces are explained. The main result of this paper is an ``improvement of flatness'' theorem for 0 level sets of local minimizers. The method of subsolutions and supersolutions together with the sliding method is used.
