Péter was born in Párkány (Sturovo in Slovak) and is a member of ethnic Hungarian community in Slovakia. The area was transferred to a newly formed Czechoslovakia following the Treaty of Trianon in which Hungary lost 2/3 of its territory and created a large Hungarian ethnic minority in Slovakia and the newly formed countries that border present-day Hungary.
