This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to create a View with one set of filters and show the results in tabs on the same page. A new tab should be created for each post type.
Solution: Create one View containing all the necessary filters, and build the loop to display the results for one post type. Use the Custom Search settings when inserting the View to display only the filters.
Insert the same View again, this time displaying only the results. Duplicate this View as many times as needed to display each post type. Insert only the results when you insert these Views, and be sure the URL parameters are identical when needed.

Can I use allready created views or I should create totally new view for search page. I need that in different tabs the result output is different style - so just chooshing different content selection is not helping
Yes, you can use Views that have already been created as long as the URL parameters are consistent for all Views.
--- where do I add that? On top of the page, bottom? Is there some tutorial where I coud find more info about that? This part unfortunately I do not understand.
You can add the filters to the top or bottom of the page, it doesn't matter from a technical perspective. To insert a View showing only the filters:
- In your Content Template or Template Layout, click the "Fields and Views" button, then find the View containing all your filters.
- Click that View's button and you'll see another popup. If your View is configured correctly, you will see some different options for Custom Search configuration. You can choose to display the search form only (see attachment search.png). If you do not see Custom Search configurations in the popup, you may need to add a filter or a submit button in the View's Search and Filters panel.
- Choose "Only the search form" in the Custom Search Settings tab, then choose 'In other place on this same page"
-As long as the Views have the same Query Filter settings,
--- Same - is there some tutorial you could point me so that I could look up for that.
No tutorial that I'm aware of, but I can try to explain with an example. Let's say your custom search filters will contain a custom select field filter. When you create the filter in the Search and Pagination panel of your first View, you must specify a URL parameter name for this field. It will automatically be set to something like "wpv-wpcf-slug-1" (see attachment param.png). The Query Filter for this View will automatically be set to respond to the same URL parameter.
Now let's say you create another View for tab #2. You want to allow your visitors to search using the same select field filter, but you will not display the filters for View #2. You will only display the results for View #2, using the filter controls from View #1. It is important that all the Views use the same URL parameter name when they include the same custom field filter.
