Summary/Abstract: This paper answers the question which was raised in one of the posts of Jovica Trkulja, actually in one of his statements according to which Mirko Kosic predicted the war in 1914. The mentioned question had in the first place opened several more questions. Is it actually possible to predict anything in the science especially in social science? If it is posiblle what dose it imply? Eventually, keeping all that in mind did Mirko Kosic really predict the war in his papers „Panermenism“ and „Modern Germany“ according to Trkulja? Taking into consideration the thesis about structural symmetry of explanation and prediction as well as the charasteristic order of social reality, then the answer is affirmative.
