Preliminary report has been published (in Polish only, but with many pictures):
http://www.mir.gov.pl/Transport/Tran...14_0982_RW.pdf

Findings:
  • APP offered visual approach which was accepted by the crew
  • existing runway, approach and PAPI lights were turned on at 100%
  • ATIS did not contain information about rwy in construction
  • markings on the rwy were not sufficient
  • observation from TWR is difficult due thresholds displacement
  • visibility was limited due rainshowers
  • EGPWS had no "Smart landing" feature installed and its map resolution was too low to detect the mistake
