UK phone EU sim
Hello,
I would like to buy a phone for my friend.
Im buying it from UK but it will be used in EU.
Will that work? Will EU sim be accepted, UK iPhone won't be blocked/locked?
Thank you to anyone who can help :)

You would need to ask your friend wether his iPhone is locked to his network provider or not. There's no way for us to tell you that.
There is nothing that says UK phones won't be blocked. If bought from places like CarPhone Warehouse, they are normally locked to UK carriers. If bought directly from Apple, they normally are not locked.
If it is locked, only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it. Link-> How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different network provider – Apple Support (UK)

Then it should be unlocked.
Sorry, misread your original post.
Thank you, buying from Apple website ☺️
