В Болгарии встречаются иглолистные леса - сосна, ель, елка, белая ель и другие. Широколистные леса, прежде всего дуб и бук, а потом граб, ясень, липа, орешник преобладают в Старой Планине, Средней Горе и Страндже, чьи склоны покрыты молодыми соснами.

should the ending be:
...Strandja Mountain, the side(s?) of which is(are?) covered with young pines.
?
I can't read Russian...

Hello Mr. Ian, I'm sorry but I've finished my evaluation for Japanese translation.
According to a machine translation, it's like this:
"whose slopes are covered with young pines"

Which one would sound better - sides or slopes? Ian, you're right about the plural.

I think it might sound most natural in English as:
...Strandja Mountain, the sides of which are covered with young pines.

If we use "whose" here, it would feel a little like "Strandja Mountain" was being personified.
If we use "the sides of which," it sounds less like Strandja Mountain "owns" its "sides"...

Also, "slopes" give the image of steep sides. (It also conjures up images of ski hills and so on.)
To me, anyway, it is very natural in English to say "the sides of a mountain"...

Hope it helps!
