Miroslav V. Horvath, born in a Roma family on February 4, 1980, in Uzhgorod, Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. Due to the family circumstances, I was raised in the family of my grandfather and grandmother on my mother's line.

In 1995 I graduated from the 9th form of the Uzhgorod secondary school # 7 of the I-III stages, with the Ukrainian language as the study means.
In 1995 I began my studies at the vocational school #19, the Uzhgorod city; there I learned the car mechanic profession for three years. In addition, I took the regional professional drivers courses.

During the studies at the secondary school and the vocational school, I was engaged in active community service; I repeatedly was the captain of football teams at different levels.
