Thank you all for replying. I did exactly the same, I used two minipages, one on the left and one on the right. What problematic is the width of the right minipage. It should be exactly the length of the longest line it contains, but it can not be set like that. Setting the width manually is not a real solution since by changing font type or size might require resetting its width. I guess the same applies to tables. I found \makebox command; its width can be set exactly to the width of its content with the \width parameter. Unfortunately \makebox command works only with one line boxes. It can not have new lines. All in all there is no good solution so far.
