The electron spin resonance of Co^{2+} ions in ZnS_{x}Se_{1-x}:Co mixed crystals was measured at temperature of 3 K and microwave frequency of 9.47 GHz. Trigonal Co_{Zn}^{2+}-S center in the ZnS_{0.001}Se_{0.999}:Co crystal was identified and parameters of relevant spin Hamiltonian were determined. Influence of alloy disorder in the anion sublattice on the Co_{Zn}^{2+} ground and first excited states is briefly discussed.
