This is improved solution of icompot, which was quite unstable for me. This one works fine and it's easy to implement:

- (void) scrollViewWillBeginDragging: (UIScrollView *) scrollView
{
    self.oldContentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset;
}

- (void) scrollViewDidScroll: (UIScrollView *) scrollView
{    

    float XOffset = fabsf(self.oldContentOffset.x - scrollView.contentOffset.x );
    float YOffset = fabsf(self.oldContentOffset.y - scrollView.contentOffset.y );

        if (scrollView.contentOffset.x != self.oldContentOffset.x && (XOffset >= YOffset) )
        {

            scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
            scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(scrollView.contentOffset.x,
                                                   self.oldContentOffset.y);

        }
        else
        {
            scrollView.pagingEnabled = NO;
               scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake( self.oldContentOffset.x,
                                                   scrollView.contentOffset.y);
        }

}


- (void) scrollViewDidEndDecelerating: (UIScrollView *) scrollView
{
    self.oldContentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset;
}
