First of all I recommend you to read this : Why not use tables for layout in HTML? its about how you should not create your layout.
I prepared you basic jsfiddle example with your given stuff to make you catch up on things faster. Check this out. Example layout
I changed your given layout to divs and spans and it would look more or less like this:
<div class='article-container'>
<div class='article'>
<div class="img-position">
<img src="http://funedit.com/andurit/try1/images/foto.png"/>
</div>
<span class="topic-name">Název topicu nebo článku </span>
<span class="date">28.8.2014 / 19:30</span>
</div>

</div>

Doing this in tables NON Semantic and I not recommend it.
For my opinion you need to use this structure
Html
<div class="block1">block1</div>
<div class="block2">block2</div>
<div class="block3">block3</div>
</div>
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.wrapper{
width: 100%;
background: #ddd;
}
.block1{
float: left;
width: 33.3%;
background: #c01;
height: 200px;
margin-right: 1px;
}
.block2{
float: left;
width: 33.3%;
background: #c01;
height: 200px;
margin-right: 1px;
}
.block3{
float: left;
width: 33.3%;
background: #c01;
height: 200px;
}

Use bootstrap grids, to achieve tabular style. It's responsive and easy to implement.
Include this CSS file.
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-xs-4 tab'> <!-- 1/3rd size of the parent container -->
<div class='row'>
<!-- Image box -->
<div class='col-xs-4'>
<img src="images/foto.png">
</div>
<!-- Description box -->
<div class='col-xs-8'> <!-- 2/3rd size of parent container -->
<div>Název topicu nebo článku </div>
<div>28.8.2014 / 19:30</div>
<div>Lorem Ipsum</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class='col-xs-4 tab'> <!-- 1/3rd size of the parent container -->
<div class='row'>
<!-- Image box -->
<!-- ... Follow same structure as above-->
</div>
</div>
<div class='col-xs-4 tab'> <!-- 1/3rd size of the parent container -->
<div class='row'>
<!-- ... Follow same structure as above -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
This will give you 3 columns, in a row of equal width.
For fixed height of each tab, just provide
<style>
.tab{
height: 200px;
}
</style>
