Doherty seeks out Barat for discussions about reforming.
Babyshambles star Pete Doherty is keen to reform his old band The Libertines, it has been reported.
According to the Daily Mirror, the singer was in Paris last week to watch Carl Barat and his current group the Dirty Pretty Things play a show.
Doherty is understood to have waited for his former bandmate to discuss plans to reform The Libertines, something which Barat thinks is possible.
However, a source told the news provider he still has some reservations which need to be addressed.
"Carl thinks it might work, but he needs to be 100 per cent sure Pete won't let him down again before he signs up," the insider said.
Dirty Pretty Things are to play their last show together at Hertfordshire University on December 18th.
In September, Doherty and Barat reunited for a one-off performance in London.
The pair staged an impromptu gig at the Prince of Wales pub in Kentish Town and sang some of their most famous songs, including Time for Heroes, Don't Look Back Into the Sun and Horror Show.
