národný výbor / 'people' committee' is a now-defunct institution that was something like a local council

'Register of Births' is the standard term http://www.ancestor-search.info/SRC-Register.htm - in fact it is 'general register of births, deaths and marriages' in full, but you don't really need the rest!

The rest of it says 'in volume 1 page 209 under entry number 43 year 1898 is recorded...' If you go there today, that is where you will find it recorded, although maybe it will all be held in Košice nowadays. I think that birth certificate must be a copy issued after the war - if it is the place that I am thinking of, what is called Perín today would have been called Perény in 1898 and Slovak would not have been spoken there - only Hungarian, and birth certificates would certainly not have been issued in Slovak. In 1898 it was indeed in Hungary (Austro-Hungarian Empire) and was not incorporated into the new Czechoslovakia until 1918. In fact it wasn't until after 1948 that Slovaks were moved into the village as an exchange for Hungarians. Another clue is that 'národný výbor' as an administrative unit did not exist until after 1945. There should be a stamp on it somewhere saying that it is a copy, or at the bottom where it is signed by the registrar it should say the date when it was issued. Perhaps at the very bottom in small letters there should be a serial number with 'ŠEVT' followed by a code - this sometimes gives a clue as to the year. Hope this helps!
